GLE43_Sube

To anyone who has the 2017 GLE43 Coupe, are the star projectors on the bottom of the exterior rearview mirrors standard? I just noticed they added this feature to the website as an "option". This was just added in the last day or so.

I just noticed it says, "For the exit lamps in the side doors." Is this at the bottom of the doors? Is this something different than the projectors at the bottom of the rearview mirrors? I'm confused.

Thanks!

I like those star projectors. People comment on them often. Funny when it freaked out my dog the first time.

Do you have them? Are they standard?

I do have them and I believe they are standard on the GLE 350. Not sure about the GLE 43 though.

OK, thanks. I just noticed the below disclaimer on the website. This just adds to the confusion. There are no "Surround Lighting" or "Mirror Package" options on the GLE43 Coupe.

Disclaimer
Not in conjunction with surround lighting with projection of brand logo (Code 587). In model series W/X166 and C292 part of Mirror package (Code P49).

Thats strange. I didnt think there were any mirror packages available on the GLE line at all.
The only external lighting package I am aware of is the lighting package for the optional side running boards (excluding the headlight package of course).

standard on all GLS. I had a 2016 GLE 350 loaner which had them as well.

Just spoke with MB Customer Support. This is a "new" feature. It projects the star from the bottom of the doors. The rearview mirror projectors are completely separate and standard equipment, as confirmed by all who responded. So if you order this option, you'd have "four" separate stars projected on the ground. I told the CS Rep this is a bit of an overkill. She agreed.

That would be REALLY CHEEEEEEEEEEZY!

My thoughts exactly.

It is separate option code 15A - adds the LED projectors from/below each door - $200 - requires Premium 2 or Premium 3 package - cannot be added to GLC with no-Premium and/or cannot be added to P1 GLC300

but, the dial on the headlamp switch is NOT illuminated. guess the bat signal is a necessity but seeing the headlamp switch positions in the dark is an unattainable luxury.

I guess they figure there's no need to actually "see" the switch with auto-on headlights.
