I recently changed my headlight bulbs to LED's, and since the parking light emits a yellow light I decided to change those to LED's as well to have all white lights. When I turn my car on now, I get a warning that the bulbs are out and the bulbs flash, 2 seconds off and 1 second on or something around there. They just turn off after I start driving. Does anyone know why this is happening? Will it only take the regular bulbs? I have a 2005 c230 kompressor. Thanks

 

Most likely, you need to replace the LED light bulb with a better one.

 

In conventional LED bulbs (cars), instead of a driver, only 1 resistor is used, which, firstly, is set to 12 volts, and secondly, it cannot protect the LED from surges in the car’s on-board network, so they don’t serve us as long as we do I would like to. As the LED dies, at first it starts to flicker, blink, wink, that is, the degradation of the crystal begins, and in the end it simply stops burning. Much better will be explosion proof LED flood lights, which I recommend you choose next time. This is the same option on the principle of price <-> quality.
