Running boards and more

Hello all, I've read many posts regarding running boards, the pros and the cons and have decided that I would like to add them to my new ML350. Can anyone suggest a supplier for the OEM parts or a high quality aftermarket version? My stealer is asking about $1500 for the parts. I've heard its a DIY install so plan to try doing it myself.

Also, has anyone checked into replacing that yellow eyebrow on the headlight with the white euro version? I much prefer the white LED that changes to amber for the turn signals. Not sure if I would need to replace the whole headlight assembly and where to get it if that was the case ...

What colour are your rocker panels I may exchange my running boards plus some $$ for your rocker panels if they are perfect. I am in London ON.

Its Obsidian Black metallic. The vehicle is only about 4 weeks old so yes, they are in perfect condition.

My vehicle is Caspian blue and the running boards are black with aluminium and are 1 year old but in perfect condition. The rocker panels match the vehicle so I would have to paint yours. Let me see how much that will cost to paint to determine if this makes sense.

Painting the rockers is less than ideal as the original paint is much more durable and sometimes a repaint will chip easier. I would like to find ones in my color but I will let you know when I find what I want and will sell you my running boards.
