W211 Mercedes-Benz E350 LED Headlight Retrofit

[@tedraymundo9283]

This is by far the most useful video I have come across on this procedure. I really appreciate the close ups and how you showed everything step by step. I know it was a pain doing all that one handed with the camera. Thank you,

[@MercedesTech]

Awesome glad you liked it! This video is actually the whole reason I started the channel. I could t find a decent video on how to do this, so I thought I’d make one.

[@joecalabro7929]

Seriously good info. Gonna put some lasfit leds in my 11 e350 and was wondering how the adapter they sell works. This perfectly clears it up. Thanks!

[@michael23mercedes]

Damn, I wish you were my neighbor so you could help me with mine. I'm going through this right now.

[@lobuzz311]

This video was super helpful. Ended up doing it exactly like you did, and it turned out well. The attachment bracket for the H7 bulb on the w211 is super janky, so it needed some finagling to get it properly seated. It worked out in the end, though. Makes the car look like a proper luxury sedan.

[@MercedesTech]

Great! Glad to hear it worked for you. Yea, I don't think halogen bulbs belong on post 2000 MY Mercedes-Benz vehicles.

[@masonpeterg]

Do you have any error messages?

[@jasonhitch660]

Own a 2003 E500. Been there biggest headache I’ve ever had. Never again! Should have bought a Accord.

[@SimonGanjawalugandanewsanalyst]

Best explanation on youtube for Upgrading these Lights! thank you

[@MercedesTech]

chief justice John Marshall Thank you much for the compliment. I made the video specifically because I couldn’t find any good ones when I wanted to do it.

[@fredwalker983]

Thank you for this video, I too also own a 08 W211 E350 sport and was looking a for a solution to the old halogen and this was just what I was looking for! Hopefully you make a vid on the Fog, parking and interior soon!!

[@MercedesTech]

Fred Walker I’ll be adding the fog, front parking lights and interior set up soon. Just need to edit👌🏼

[@gilbertbautista9472]

Did you make a second video of you installing the LED on the little bulbs?

[@MercedesTech]

Insane Braindead Hello, yes! I have the video here kzbin.info/www/bejne/qojLqnpsjrCJi5Y it’s titled W211 LED parking lights

[@mikem8183]

Terrific Video! Thank You 🙏🏼

[@MercedesTech]

You’re welcome and thank you!

[@DieselBenz]

Did you have an issue with polarity? I’ve had all kinds of trouble with the LEDs I put in the fog light position on my Sprinter. Just got a W211 as a ‘beater’ car today and I hate halogens. Also the canbus error eliminator harnesses they sent me never worked to get the bulb fault out of the dash. Ended up wiring in 6ohm resistors and that cured the bulb fault. Obviously is is my experience with a sprinter, I’ve not done LED conversion on any of my MB cars. Luckily the W212 and W204 have the bi-xenons from the factory.

[@MercedesTech]

Yea I did have an issue with polarity on the headlights and fog lights. Just have to plug them in 180. Also needed canbus harnesses

[@willg8986]

Thanks for sharing your video. The headlight is no longer available on Amazon. Is there another one you would recommend?

[@MercedesTech]

I see that.Though if you just type LED H7 Bulbs into amazon, any other the results should work aslong as they are the H7 size. A lot of what is in this video should be able to be applied but the bulbs may have a different shape that may or may not work. It looks like they may have moved to a revised design seen here: www.amazon.com/BEAMTECH-Headlight-Fanless-Extremely-Conversion/dp/B071J4SCXY/ref=pd_di_sccai_5/136-0131735-9181818?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B071J4SCXY&pd_rd_r=5853cf54-5e7c-49d9-a2cd-4488dce74707&pd_rd_w=if8Wx&pd_rd_wg=HaBvr&pf_rd_p=61ce50cf-2379-4458-9044-fa8b402c702d&pf_rd_r=AW1Q6PSDFQPDF6MTEVTB&psc=1&refRID=AW1Q6PSDFQPDF6MTEVTB However these appear from the picture to be the same size and dimensions as the ones I installed on my vehicle: www.amazon.com/EXPERTBEAM-Headlight-Conversion-8000Lm-3-Yr-Warranty/dp/B07MZMZ7PR/ref=sr_1_4?dchild=1&keywords=h7+beamtech&qid=1591025520&s=automotive&sr=1-4 ....... They are most likely the same thing just rebranded from the same manufacturer. But like I said, as long as its H7 size it should work, just may require different adapter brackets.

[@WillPowerRehabFlipSpecialist]

I bought from Amazon some LED Bulbs without that black box to it. Like a stick replacement. Installed on my 2000 CLK 430 no problem. Tried doing the same on my 2009 E350 sport and only the yellow fog lights work now. When I tried with headlights one worked passenger. When I did driver the headlights flickered now the only part of headlights that work is passenger side high beam. The LED Fog lights never stopped working nor blinkers. I reinstalled new stock halogen bulbs and can't get them to work. Checked fuse box on driver side door and no fuse seems to be blown. Any help?

[@TheoSmith249]

Nice job on this vid. I've been wanting to do this to my '08 W211 E320.. IF you do your Fog's or HBeams, or tail lites, please post

[@MercedesTech]

FNJ LNH I have my fog lights done. Haven’t done high beams or brake lights. I believe the tail lights on my car are led from the factory. But I’ll add the fog light video once I’m done editing

[@belminzvekic6]

Do you know which beam tech bulb these are now on Amazon? The links no longer work. Thanks in advance!

[@Jemstk]

Can i do this 2004 mb e320 pre faclift? Also thanks man i hardwired my shadow light to riibon cable it worked tganks now i need some leds

[@JorgeVazquez-qp3wc]

I’m having trouble with mine there Sylvania LED they don’t come with that black cover your removed

[@BubbleDouble]

Hey man I know I'm late but how are the bulbs holding up? Should I still go with these ones or are there any better newer ones? Thanks!

[@MercedesTech]

These are still working great, I imagine there are newer versions but I would just go with beam tech as I’ve never had issues with them amzn.to/3mhNaS6

[@BubbleDouble]

@@MercedesTech Thanks! I read below that you also needed to get separate devices for the canbus, are there specific ones for this setup or should any work?

[@MercedesTech]

@@BubbleDouble just message the seller to send you the canbus ballasts also.

[@BubbleDouble]

@@MercedesTech Sorry for the amount of questions, but where'd you place the ballasts? I read they can get hot and will melt plastic, is there any suitable place on the w211?

[@MercedesTech]

@@BubbleDouble I kind of actually hung them. So if you use like a cut and vent coat hanger or something similar it holds up well. Check out the fog light video, I think I showed more on that in there

[@Jemstk]

I jusy ordered ne lens and want to paint inner chrom blavk so no i need bulbs? Help i am hearing i need homad beakets idk plese help

[@tommygun7702]

I need one soon brother for mine e350

[@alfonsojuarez3392]

Where can I buy the adapters to install the bulbs? Instead of modifying standard clips for the new bulbs.

[@youngjung4361]

Bought mine from ebay fits good under $10

[@sthejaycabral3214]

Im trying to change mine right now. But how the hell did you bend your clip? Bcuz i bought a clip adapter and it didnt fit so plan b is to use the original clip but i cant bend it

[@MercedesTech]

Sthejay Cabral Sorry for the late reply but I’m sorry hear you were or are having a problem getting your lights installed. I used the pliers from my leatherman to bend and fold the clip. I first had to do little cuts to separate the 4 corners

[@SuperMarioFan72]

I cant make my clips work and the ones i got on Amazon dont work either. I am without headlights right now

[@kas2388]

damn really? which other ones have worked for you then

[@SuperMarioFan72]

@@kas2388 I made the Amazon ones work but I had to take the bumper cover off and remove the light completely to get the led bulbs in properly. I'm kind of glad as the wiring for each light was completely corroded and not good. I cleaned everything up and new Led lights are awesome

[@AdamSmith-fe9jf]

Thanks for the helpful video. I have the same vehicle. Did you need to connect the CANBUS harness or any resistor type connection in order to avoid issues with the Mercedes electrical draw?

[@MercedesTech]

Adam Smith the head lights and fog lights needed canbus error harnesses added to prevent the lights turning on and off over and over. As well as error messages in the instrument cluster.

[@AdamSmith-fe9jf]

Mercedes Tech I appreciate the information. I am very confused as to which lights I should purchase. I compared the Beamtech you used to some other products from Amazon and reviewers are saying Beamtech is better because the fanless design eliminates the possibility of fan going out and melting the connector and housing, while also fitting inside the dust cover. However, others say the Auxbeam’s fan-style bulbs offer superior light output and are better lights that last longer. Do you have any input either way on this?

[@MercedesTech]

Yea, well if you decide to go with my choice, I can assure you I did some research from other youtubers reviews of various models and brands of lights. Definitely wasn’t a random selection. I’ve had fan and fanless LED bulbs now. They both seam to run at the same temperature and are pretty much the same size..with the fanless being slightly smaller. BeamTech seamed like an overall winner among reviews/reviewers so I chose them. I have fan style in my 190e and the only difference I notice is I can hear the fans when the engine isn’t running. Don’t have experience with owning auxbeams in particular, though I believe those were one of the ones constantly compared to BeamTech in my research.

[@nachnach007]

@@MercedesTech Can you please post a link to the canbus error harness ? Thanks much for posting the video.

[@MercedesTech]

nach periyanan I can probably find one online if you need, but all of mine came from the seller of the bulbs, you just let them know when you buy it or even after you have it, that you’ll need a CAN bus/error harness

[@JOSELUISGARCIA2827]

Pues si tengo un mercedes clase E del 2006 cdi avantgare W211 y quisiera cambiarle las luces de posición delanteras por unas led que den la luz blanca y un poco más intensa. A la hora de quitarlas he visto que tiene un conector que sale pero cómo se quita la bombilla, hay un tubo que está dentro la bombilla pero está fijo con la bombilla dentro le he puesto otra vez el conector y no se cómo quitar la bombilla en cuestión para cambiarla.

[@harkatdz]

Are they error free please thanks

[@Jemstk]

Need your help got 2004 e320 wanted to do same. Idk what i have halogen i guess idk want LEDS please help

[@TheBaccaClench]

Hello, is there an updated parts link? The bulb is out of stock or whatever and I just want something that won’t break the bank since I’m in the process of replacing everything w LEDs in my 2004 Mercedes e320.. thanks!

[@MercedesTech]

Impaired Repair this should be basically the same thing. Check this out: BEAMTECH H7 LED Headlight Bulb,Fanless CSP Chips All in One 50W ... www.amazon.com/dp/B07MYZHBT9/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_awdo_t1_qDqNDb4JFTBS7

[@TheBaccaClench]

Mercedes Tech is there going to like a warning light on the dash?

[@MercedesTech]

@@TheBaccaClench I did not get error warnings after using the beamtech kit with the additional CAN BUS resistors that i requested from the seller.

[@TheBaccaClench]

Mercedes Tech alright thanks!! And did the seller charge you anything? If not looks like I’ll be getting these for my e320, thanks!!

[@MercedesTech]

Impaired Repair I just told the seller they turn on and off and that I need the CAN BUS harness, so they just sent me them for free. I’ve had a lot of HID headlights and LEDs over the years, they always just send them at no charge

[@jamesthomas9715]

The link for the bulbs is no longer working . What’s the specs on them?

[@MercedesTech]

amzn.to/3ZBv36U

[@reggielamon6853]

do need you resistors for every led light ? (park fog and low beam)

[@MercedesTech]

Yes.

[@RyLokey]

How have they preformed over the past few years? Are they brighter or less bright than the halogen h7s?

[@MercedesTech]

Brighter, still going strong. No ragrets

[@RyLokey]

Thank you for responding and posting this video. Im going to do it exactly how you did.

[@jkeating38]

Doing it to my E350 soon, are the lights still working?

[@MercedesTech]

Jack Keating Yep, haven’t had any problems since I added the resistor harnesses

[@philboy521]

what kind of bulb did you use for the inner capsule (bulb that sits below the high beam)? thanks!

[@MercedesTech]

It’s outlined in my other video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qojLqnpsjrCJi5Y . I believe it’s called a T10 style pill bulb

[@masonpeterg]

Have you got any error messages? Hoping to do this on my pre facelift e500

[@MercedesTech]

I still to this day don't have any error messages and they are working great still! I did need the CANBUS harness for the bulbs as well so be sure to ask for those from the seller to save yourself some time.

[@Woohallie]

Did u ever change the highbeam? Was it hard?

[@MercedesTech]

High beam was actually a lot easier I believe. It was a while ago but at worst it would’ve been the same thing. High beams housing isn’t as big but still everything fit.

[@Woohallie]

@@MercedesTech can u buy it in amazon without any mods? Coz i know i have to buy a specific bracket to get the led to fit the low beams. Is it h7 as well?

[@379Luka]

Are these bulbs error free plug and play? Or did you need to connect something to prevent error messages on the instrument cluster? Thank you!

[@MercedesTech]

Yes, every Exterior LED bulb ive installed on this particular model (2008 E350) needed an CAN BUS/Resistor Harness attached in line.

[@379Luka]

Mercedes Tech Thank you.

[@Woohallie]

Is this the same for 2006 e350?

[@MercedesTech]

This is for the facelifted vehicles. May however have some of the same connections, not 100%

[@khalilmkokash]

Did you add a canbus error resistor later? If yes did it fit inside the housing ? And which one did you use? Thanks

[@MercedesTech]

Khalil Kokash I did end up having to used canbus resistor harnesses to make them work. Yes it all worked out and fit fine. I just messaged the company that I bought the lights from on amazon and said they’re flashing and not staying on. So they sent me their brand of canbus harness

[@benzbenzm646]

Can I have this product

[@JJ-vm3ky]

This video is not working. No connection! ! What up...

[@Trevonious95]

Still have no fuckingclue how these brackets stay together with the bulb just keeps fuckingspinning
