The LED ILS is absolutely superb. it is your choice what kind of lighting you have on it. I guess it depends on what area you live in as to how important it is.

Did you install the H7 high beams yet? They looked like a PITA to install. I just did the auxbeams F16 H7 LED lightbulb install for the lowbeams and they are impressive. I have LED H7 replacements for the high beams but opted not to install just yet. It looks as though the wheel liner will have to come out to make install easier for the high beams

Cover removed:



Used my left hand to pull the bulb, a little tight on this side but there is enough room to move around.

Nice. Did you buy the car from MB of South Bay? I went to their showroom the other day and there was not a salesperson in sight; after 20 minutes I left.
I usually take PV Dr. S to the Trump or Terranea, will have to check out PV Dr E next time.

There's a good argument for not having a panoramic roof. It adds at least 200 lbs, allows heat builtup in cabin and glass (which may shatter) and reduces structural rigidity. Also, if the pano roof drainage channels are blocked water will leak into the cabin.

I guess MB really don't know how to design a safe car.

No front plates for me, i signed a document when i took delivery so the dealer won't drill the license plate frame on the front bumper kinda like a waiver.
