Key Features

100% CANBUS Error Free – Built-in resistors prevent dashboard warning lights and flickering, ensuring seamless compatibility with your SLK’s electrical system.
6000K Crystal White Light – Delivers a bright, pure-white glow that closely matches modern OEM LEDs, improving visibility and giving your interior a premium, updated look.
Plug-and-Play Design – Direct replacement for factory bulbs; no wiring, splicing, or modifications required. Simply remove the old bulb and insert the new LED.
Ultra-Long 50,000 Hour Lifespan – Rated to last over 50 times longer than halogen bulbs, reducing the need for frequent replacements and saving you money over time.
Custom Fit for Your Generation – Each kit is tailored specifically for R170, R171, or R172 models, with the correct bulb sizes and quantities for every socket location.

Installation Guide

Turn off all lights and allow bulbs to cool. Before starting, switch off the interior lights to avoid short circuits. If the vehicle has been running, wait a few minutes for halogen bulbs to cool down to prevent burns.
Remove the old bulb using the included removal tool. Gently pry off the lens or housing with the plastic tool to avoid scratching trim. Carefully extract the stock bulb – if it’s a festoon type, slide it out of the metal clips.
Insert the new LED bulb and test. Push the LED into the socket or clip it into place. Turn on the light to verify operation. If it does not illuminate, flip the bulb 180 degrees (LEDs are polarity-sensitive). For festoon bulbs, gently bend the metal clips closer together if the bulb feels loose.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the brightness compare to the original halogen bulbs?

Our LED kit produces significantly more light than factory halogens – typically 300% to 500% brighter at the same wattage. The 6000K color temperature also provides a cleaner, whiter light that reduces eye strain and makes it easier to see items in your SLK’s cabin, footwells, and trunk.

Will these LEDs cause CANBUS errors or hyper-flash on my Mercedes?

No. Every bulb in this kit is engineered with built-in CANBUS cancellation circuitry. This means they communicate correctly with your SLK’s body control module, preventing dashboard warning lights, flickering, or rapid flashing. They are 100% error-free for all interior applications.

How do I know this kit will fit my specific SLK model?

We provide three distinct kits matched exactly to your SLK generation: R170 (1996-2003), R171 (2004-2010), and R172 (2011-2015). Each kit contains the precise bulb types (festoon, 194, etc.) and quantities required for that model. If your car is an R172, note that the front map/dome light is already LED from the factory and is not included. Simply select the kit corresponding to your vehicle’s chassis code and year.
