Default LED Lighting Options

I have just received in the mail the LED rear licence lamps, thanks to another thread confirming they will work, error free. 2 License Plate LED Kit No Error Mercedes W211 S211 E Class W219 CLS R171 SLK 55 | eBay

Can anyone confirm after installing, other LED lighting options that are error free (no bulb out indicator) for the eyebrow lamps and side markers? I'm looking for LED lamps that can simply plug into existing sockets. TIA

I can tell you some Chineese ones that don't work.. LOL. Adding resistors to them for the rear flashers and going to spend the money for some front flashers that "should" work..
They were advertised as Canbus error free.. and still lit up the dash when in the backup light position.. go figure!

Warning on the tag lights.. wear sun glasses when inspecting while lit.. LOL

My experience with the CANBUS error free bulbs from Asia has been poor. If they work, they tend not to last very long and get very hot when they do work.....I suppose that's why they burn-out so quickly.

Yeah I had my doubts.. but at $4.50 a pop.. worth the shot.. emailed vendor about "not".. and we split the cost.. adding $12 worth of resistors so we shall see.. Funny thing.. they weren't that "bright" looking in daylight in the headlights.. but seem fine in the tail lights..

Got these coming for headlights signal now..
