I USED THE SEARCH FUNCTION FOR TWO DAYS NOW. I WANT TO DO LED LIGHTS FOR MY FRONT AND REAR PARKING LIGHTS AND MY BRAKE LIGHTS. BUT I CAN'T FIND WHAT TYPE OF BULB THEY ARE. I HAVE HEARD 1157 FOR THE FRONT TURN SIGNAL AND 1156 FOR BOTH OF THE REAR ONES, BUT THAT DOES NOT MAKE SENSE AND I WANT TO DOUBLE CHECK BEFORE I DO THE CONVERSION. AS WELL AS THE REAR TURN SIGNAL???

go to your local Pep Boys or AUto Zone and check the bulb number. I think it is 1157.

ForMyMercedes.com has an LED kit for this, see: http://www.formymercedes.com/mb_results.asp?model=W202&class=c-class_w202&category=LED+Replacement+Bulbs
I'm thinking of getting it. Let me know if you do.

dude this is what you have to do to find out the exact numbers. go to an autostore, look for turn signals. Look for the one's that have 2 contacts on the bottom of the bulb. Thats for the fronts. Then look for the turn signals with only 1 contact. Thats for the rears. Plain and simple. Good luck. =)
