Hi, I have a 2004 W209 CLK and I recently tried to replace the number plate bulbs with led the o/s no problems however the n/s a different story, at first it simply didn't work so I got some more initially the led bulb flashed then nothing so I removed all the trim to get to the back of the fitting to find no power at the fitting, this was all done with the lights on ignition off so i decided to put it all back together, put the original bulb back in and it worked fine......
is it something to do with the elec system compensating in some way for the light not working....???
