GUYS BE AWARE ‼️
Don’t buy cheap canbus decoders. These unbranded decoders got dangerously hot, and one of them melted.
Changed to Philips decoders and they work flawless and not nearly as hot, you could se buy links in description or in comment section below. Really pleased with this setup osram led working really good 👊
I don't think they meant to sit insode the same compartment as the light fitting. Best keep them outside the fitting for they can have airflow.
Your right that’s the recommendation, but pretty sure these would melt anyway i did have the headlight housing open and outside in really cold climate after install to check they not got to hot.
@@MB212 I think I will attempt to upgrade my lights also as they are very poor lighting at the moment. I also have W212 E200NGT.
bruh! great upgrade. Question, does the decoder bypass the ILS and leveling stuff? I'm having a BIG problem with that right now and the quotes I'm getting to fix are unbelievable. 2010 w212
So you finally chenge to Philips canbus encoder?
You are one of the best CZcams channels for w212!!! Please don’t stop making videos about w212. 💪🏻
🤩🙏
I have a W212 and i dont drive that often at night, but when i do i am surprised how bad the headlamps are, I will do this mod as you have done, so many thanks for the video.
I couldn’t agree more. My 2012 w212 headlights are pitiful even with Osram nightbreakers fitted. Going to be doing this upgrade for sure 👍
Thank you so much for this video, you literally saved my life. I just finished installing my new LED headlight thanks to you♥️. It was I little bit difficult but with your help I managed to get everything done perfectly.
Like I always say, please keep uploading more videos you are gold to me♥️♥️
Thanks for the great comment. This feedback get me positive to keep making these videos.
I want this! Looks amazing....nice and bright. If I remember, LEDs also draw less amprage on the electrical system compared to halogen....another plus!
Wow this looks great
Good job
Really pleased with the result of this modification 🙌
Hey pal, what are the bulbs on the inside? Looking to change all six including the fog lights.
Done this Yesterday on my Car finally. Took me 4 hours lol but finally It Looks great thank you again for this great Video i followed your instructions and it worked
Nice that’s the video coming to help! Did you also use Osram bulbs? 🤟
@@MB212 yes i also use The Osram one :)
Great they worked really good for me!
@Bash Jan how you cope in the night ? They don't give you any proper light in the dark on the motorway without lights. They are death traps. Got w212 installed asram and Philips and the beam was 50 percent shorter then normal. They look great on the wall fro 3 meters away. On road conditions outside the city I had no visibility... they are shockingly poor.
Would they work on w204 the hid i got they not that bright especially during rain
FYI in the US, OSAM is marketed as SYLVANIA. The same H7 LEDs can be bought at AutoZone and other stores for much less than on Amazon delivered from some European sellers
Thanks for information had no idea about that 👌
Is that high beam next to the position light?
Great video👌🏼👌🏼
Thanks bro 🙏
Hi mate , i did everything (same like video). But my headlight’s dont work , on the left side i have the normal bulb on the right side i have the LED. But none of them are working. I check the engine fuses’s and they are Ok. Wath Shell i check now?
If you could use a Lux meter to measure before and after Lux readings of the bulbs that would be just top notch. Good video anyway
Need your advice: are there any modern cars where someone need not take off wheels to change bulbs??
Thank you in advance!
Not sure which models but pretty sure you could find some, if you have the halogen option for W212 you could still change them without removing anything but is kinda hard in the driver side. I know Volvo had a really simple solution in the V70 models around 2012, you had a retainer you pulled out and the complete headlight come out in seconds.
do they work for high beam too?
Great Job
Hello ... I do not know if this is The correct way To pose a question ...
Does someone know how to change the final diff ratio on The Mercedes Software?
I changed My diff from 2,82 To 3,06 and right now I can only use The car in Dyno mode
Thanks in advance

Muss es unbedingt geklebt werden? Würde es ansonsten innen locker sein?
What glue are you using?
I have ordered led bulbs for the main beam on my 2013 w212 facelift model.will that universal adaptor fit mine as well if you have any idea
Cheers and great vid👍
Hello,
I have pretty the same E Class like you had and i love it.
But the Light is Not good.
I have alredy installed some China LED but the Light was going off after some minutes.
Now i found your Video.
Why you installed an Phillips adapter?
Why not the Adapter from Osram.
Or should i Install an HDI Xenon Kit.
What can you recommend to me.
Thank you very much for your Time.
PS: Your Videos are great
Hi this install was on my old car and when I sold the car I removed the led lights and we put them on a friends cars and they still working flawlessly.
But I changed to led mainly because I wanted to have the same look with white lamps as the other ones in the car, the actual light performance did not increase to much as you probably hope it would.
And as you say the China led don’t bother about them they not last for long.
I bought the philips adapter because I actually never found the ones from Osram to buy, but no worries they work as good anyway.
Don’t have any experience about the HID but I guess they probably give you better light then original and led.
Is it ok to just stuff the decoder into the headlight enclosure? With the road conditions in the UK the potholes would shake them to bits.
No worries it worked really good. The roads over here is also terrible!
Did those bulbs stay bright when they were on for a while or did they get dimmer as they heated up?
From my experience driving with them now for about 6 months I would answer they not get dimmer. But that’s only my observations, has not done any test.
@MB212 Have you ever drove in dark night without lamps ? Those led don't give you enough reach to safely see and drive on the motorway with oncoming traffic. Got same benzo w212 and these bulbs are a death trap if you go outside a city area with no lamps.
The light pattern looks awesome! The super glue might fail due to the heat but I'm guessing the two metal brackets are sandwitched with the clip?
Really happy with light pattern got that good 👌 Think the same but only thing I had in garage and checked today still sitting good. Epoxy should do may add that later if it needed. But as you say it’s not coming lose because it’s sitting sandwiched 🤘
Hi i have a w212 from 2012, does this Lights will cause any electrical Problems ? Or can i Change Them with The recommended links ? Thanks and regards. Nice Video indeed !!
You got same light as I had (halogen) then you could do same way as in this video. No electrical problem works flawless have check with Xentry no fault codes at all. Canbus I used in video was bad but have changed to Philips and they are way better. But all links are up to date you could order from them 🔥
These adapter clips are a nightmare. My hands are all chewed up. Plus it fell apart and the clip and ring dropped in the headlight. So I'm aborting mission on the LED's.. Took me an hour to get the clip and ring out of the headlight housing- nightmare since the magnet wouldn't grab either. I bought these regular bulbs on Amazon called Biolight KM superlight H7 for like 30.00 a set. they come in various versions and i only used the superlight thus far and they are very good. I tried them in the high beams also and they perform wonderful. You know what? They are great. At least as good as Sylvania Ultra's (which I have) but much whiter. Not quite LED white but really good and easy to replace. I thought I'd throw it out there as an option for W212 guys. Thanks so much for these super informative videos.!!
I feel you! I kinda had a big hustle with these retainers also, and before doing the video testing everything out I also dropped the retainer inside the headlight. Really annoying. But after all everything went good 😅 Thanks for your info bud.
Thanks for the great video!
I'm ordering the parts to do the conversion soon, what would you say the best place/position for the canbus decoders to avoid any heat damage? as in my country, the heat from the weather alone is really high, especially in the summer. Also, what would be the best option for the high beam conversion to be white as well?
Hi best place for canbus decoder it’s definitely outside housing you could find plenty of space to mount them but then you need to drill holes because you need the housing cover to be pretty sealed. The unbranded decoders I used in video was really bad got extreme hot and one melted, but when changed to these Philips decoders it’s way better it’s not near as hot. First zip tie them outside and after driving for a while I did feel that decoders not got that hot that they could melt plastic inside housing. Stuffed them below light bulb. High beam you could use same lamp but because it’s reflector I should not change it because you not going to get good light pattern.
@@MB212 Cool, thanks!
Btw, for the high beam I'm going to try just swapping the bulb with the Philips Diamond Vision as it seems the best option out there for white light
@@hussainal-derry1727 get osram 80w 5000k cool blue boost bulbs
Great video. Thanks a lot.
I have the same car with Halogen too.
I’ll do the same if it is not disturbing other drivers.
I must to change 4 lamps? Two for near and two for far ?
They don’t do if you install them properly and don’t buy any cheap led light. No I only put them in low beam because high beam is reflector light and that’s not working good for retrofitting from halogens. Low beams are projector lights. Check the light with low beam and high beam, you going to understand better 👍
I bought all items, but T10 that i didn’t found to be ordered in my destination.
I found these a little bit différents. Are they ok? Can i install they too? Thanks a lot.

Yess they should work also! Usually as long they are W5W lamps is ok. But check before so you got canbus lamp or decoders if not you going to get warning for broken lamp!
@@MB212 thanks a lot. You are nice person. God bless you.
Do not buy them , bought exactly the same set up and in the middle of the night you can't see nothing !! They only good for lit up roads. If you go country lane or motorway you will be driving blind. The reach of the beam is super poor.
2 questions.
-These lights get really hot, but you forced the adapter in that tiny space as well, without even fastening it. Doesn't that cause that adapter to move around in there and isn't that a fire hazard? I don't think that's safe. Anyway to keep the adapter out? Or attach them somewhere stable??
-doesn't the headlamps just loosen up from the top without getting a whole wheel out and playing with the trim? I think that would be more comfortable to install as well.
Yess you could make a better solution for the adapter, I don’t remember why I did not attach it I think it was due to it got really hot so I figure this way worked better. Unfortunately whole bumper removal to get the headlight out.
❤
Bro is the movement of that projector is there in mercedes when the car takes a turn. Will that he hampered or retained?
That's in newer models, w212 don't do that only w212R or facelift version has that feature
Certain!y the choice is anyone's to make but I much prefer HID over LED. The focus and cutoff in the stock halogen projectors works perfectly with the HID bulbs. Problem with LED is that the heat sink/ fan is inside the assembly and creates too much heat.
I used a Morimoto 35w HID with CANBUS connectors that's worked great for 5 years so far. Everything except the bulb is outside of the headlight assembly.
Please where can I buy hid for my 2010 e350
So i been buying the DZG 55W ballast, and basic 10$ amazon decoded, but i been having to change them every 1 - 3 months, waste of money, i been reading a lot on them morimoto ones, how are they as far as reliability? I hate been left with one single light after 10 mins of driving
N V can you please tell me wich HID lamps you have in your Car and wich Canbus connector. How much Kelvin have your lamps.
Do you have a E Class w212 too?
Just thought I would ask how these are working and if I should the same ?
Working flawless. Could not say it’s done much about the light experience pretty much same as halogen. But much more modern looks for sure I like it 👍
@@MB212 I have tried multiple different set ups in many cars with projectors over the years, You are correct, what I THOUGHT was brighter was actually just whiter not a longer throw of light not to mention when it rained I really got a wake up call with some bulbs and LED's I tried. Thanks for the videos. You are really helping a lot of people, including me.
Need an old blaster after it is installed ??
Sorry don’t really understand the question!
You think this would work on a w203? Awesome video
Thank! Yess is work for your model also.
Just put them in mine they work great but now the low beam warning light came on any suggestions
You need canbus decoders!
@@MB212 Ayyee thank you I just googled what that is I apreciate you major🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
You had halogens? But what for then your car is equipped with headlight washer jets?
Yess halogens before. Probably because of cold climate here.
Holy shit, wheel and arch liner out to change a headlight bulb?!! I'm glad I got the intelligent light system lol
Until it brake and you need to change the whole headlight (2000 euro) ☺️ Also I got the ILS now on the facelift.
Nothing like the Multibeam !
👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Do these easily blind oncoming drivers? Considering them.
Would say not blinding at all, light pattern really close to oem halogen.
why do all german cars is such a hassle to change the bulb? ive notice that they all have different way to connect and plug the bulb in, on japanese cars its literally plug and play
I want to watch the video and follow it, but it's a shame it looks different from my car's 2013 e350 coupe c207. My car is equipped with xenon lights.
Are these road legal? In the uk
Probably not legal there but not sure, here in Sweden all kind of aftermarket led installs in headlight are illegally. But don’t bother me because they not blind incoming traffic.
Does the retainer also work with the e class coupe c207?
Sorry I don’t know!
is it Mercedes benz W212 e200 or others, sir??
Works for all W212 with halogen!

What was wrong with the halogens
Because this coming with original DRL lights that’s are led white. Same with trunk light goes led white, look much better with white for low beam and especially now because I use DRL with low beam at the same time.
Hi. Can you update T10 lamp in canbus? Thx for you help
Yess but you need to have T10 with canbus decoder if not is going to warn for broken lamp.
@@MB212 I mean update link for buy T10, last link is not work, more precisely according to the link the lamp is not available.
My bad! I have now updated the link.
Can you do my car please I'm in Ireland
I have bought this set up, Osram and phillips plus adapter. What a waste of money 💰 they do work, however, only in the city. If you go out where lamps are not on the road, you can't see anything!! Dangerous to life, very poor visibility literally a death trap. Do not buy as you will be like Steve Wonder if you drive in the middle of the night !! Sold them straight away. However, the CZcams tutorial was great and helpful.
🇮🇶🇮🇶🇮🇶🇮🇶👍👍👍👍
Honestly its easier to just order some 80w 5000k Osram cool blue boost bulbs. They are like 30.
I ised these led driving ones in the high beams with a universal retainer
Super annoying
SuperGlue "NO" JBweld "YES"
If you live in US are doing this to your low beam headlights, be aware this is NOT DOT compliant.
