Just finally adding my R500 ... had it a couple of weeks now... she's very well optioned but otherwise stock... i've just completed my lighting refit... Lowbeams to HID5k, Highbeams Diamond Vision, City - AznOptics T10 COB, added the little DRL's into the fog spot but not sure about the color and finished off today with the LED star grill... i've got the parts for a reverse camera but haven't tackled that yet and want to refit all interior lights to LED but some of the fittings (ie dome) are just painful to access ...

marc hanna

The domes both front and rear have spring clips. I just use a flat screw driver to catch the lip to release them. For the front you have to remove the rain sensor cover first - squeeze at the top and pivot it down.

dinfung

i been thinking to replace all the interior light to led. anyone try to replace the led bulb behind the door handle?

JonMac

Thanks Marc I've read the threads and I've even got the wis dvd's (three mercs in the household now so I thought it was a cheap investment lol but haven't installed it yet. 70gb! Sheesh...)
I got as far as getting the rain sensor off but then I got stuck I'll try again when I got time to do it without rushing

marc hanna

There's four clips in total - one for each corner basically. The ones closest to the windshield are closely spaced, and the other two are spaced far apart - there's a cut away in the corners that you'll be able to see as you pry it away - this will indicate where the clips are.

Here's my 2007 r350 with 20" flat black rims and conti tires.

Look great, are those weather tech windows visor? how do you like them?

e.pros

Yes they are Weather techs. Zero issues at all... looks exactly the same the day I bought it.

JonMac

nice e.pros! ... thinking of blacking out the chrome or you like the lines? Just curious how good a full black would come out

e.pros

I'll keep it as it is for now. Ponying up for a Wald kit... Hopefully completed this year.

i got removed my vossen wheels,just got some black Kahn wheels r22 9j all round,plus i use 3m satin matt wrap remove all my chrome surround i think it's looks much better now

dinfung

wow, it look great. i am planning to plastidip all the chrome on my R also. may i ask what size tire are you running?

vytas85

hi.tyre size 265 35 r22 offset et 35. My original plan was use to plasti dip as well.but after long search i decide remove all my trim and wrap them reason for better finish and long lasting result.

JonMac

gorgeous R tyres are just simply beefy ! And i love the whole blackened look.
am hunting around for 'stock' AMG 21"... no chance to blacken anything, my R is Irridium Silver lol... is your R on Airmatic and did you have to adjust any suspension either way to fit 22's?
thanks!

taranch

Simply gorgeous! Enjoy!!!

vytas85

hi.thank you yes my R on full airmatic,you don't need adjust anything to fit r22,but on my i got lowering links,so i lowered it alot,and r21 amg wheels good choise

dinfung

I have full airmatic also. I have order a lowering module. I am going to try the software way to lower it.

I have a set of 22" Renntech coming. Now i have to decide on tires size and brand. I was going to go with 285 35 22,

dinfung

Finally have the tires mounted and wheel put on, with the airmatic, i don't think the ride is that much different.

2006 R500 with 20" Brabus wheels.

Got my 2010 r350 Bluetec about a month ago. Had winter tires and rims on it. Finally got the right tires and rims. AMG replica rims 20x9.5 with 255/55r20 Pirelli tires. Now the odometer actually shows the right speed and isn't off by 5%. I roadforce balanced them myself since I'm **** and the machine runs like a dream now. I bought this r-class so I would use my 2015 Escalade ESV less, and I tell you what. This Mercedes rides a ton smoother and more comfortable than the caddy. It has about 75k miles on it, but has a ton of life left in it. Nothing nicer than to buy a used vehicle that has been pampered by the previous owner.
