Tell you what Tom :
You but four # 1157 and four # 1156 LED lamps and try 'em out , if you don't like 'em , I'll buy 'em including the fright charges and use in my old truck , Ural Motos etc. , no loss to you either way .
Tom's question has to do with the transitorized turn signal flashers out Mercedes' all use ~ LED's likely won't draw sufficient current to make it flash , I don't care I can use them in my stuff .
