I bought a complete set of interior LEDs from ebay, which includes the ones for the number plate.

Waste of money. Within a few days many of them started flickering.

Maybe more expensive ones will be better.

I do remember that changing the ones on the number plate was tricky because the wires weren't long enough to pull the fitting out to change one of the bulbs. But you have to do that whether you replace with LEDs or incandescent. Merc C220 estate Sport AMG

I did the interior ones with LEDS a few years back when I had the 06....and they lasted about a year...I ended up replacing them all with original bulbs.

I was looking at these, which I hadn't seen before....don't know if you had tried these or just the LED bulb?

Sounds like you may have been unlucky Bill or maybe its just that I have been very lucky. I bought some for both the interior lights, side lights and number plate in dribs and drabs (rather than a set) off ebay in 2016. Zero problems so far (now I've said that they'll now all POP! Confused ). The firm I used was called Virtualex although I can't see them on ebay now. Robin

yeah, the overhead ones all seem fine but the ones in the footwells, doors and load compartment flickered all the time so I changed them back to incandescents. Merc C220 estate Sport AMG

It's personal taste but I'm not a fan of cool white LEDs, so I bought these from eBay in warm white. Dirt cheap and they are fine for the numberplate lights...

Over a year ago I fitted the PowerfulUk number plate LED's and all ok still, althought they were tight/a pest to fit.

In addition I fitted the full interior kit which transformed the interior lighting - you can actually see now

For number plate light I used the powerful UK lights and casings,
For the rest of the car I used Osram W5W, both in white and blue.
Been in since 2017 and all working fine Just bought a RRS 06 MY HSE TDV6 136,000 miles, to be a second car to my bland, boring Mitsubishi Outlander 68 plate 2.0 petrol 4
