Illuminated door sill not working

I finally got around to installing the illuminated door sills I bought a few months ago. The guy at TWS told me one of them has a broken inverter. Does anyone know where to get this part?

Oggle,
are your illuminated sills the MB Accessory sills or the Harton MotorWerks (Harris custom-made) sills ???

for a broken inverter, if you got an MB Accessory sill, you can take it back to the dealer and tell them it's broken and get a new one.

if it's a custom-made sill, perhaps taking the broken inverter into Radio Shack or an electronics place, they may have that replacement part.

Thanks for your help.

I actually bought it from mbphreak like 6 months ago during that group buy thing on MBKlasse. Just never installed it. I don't see him online anymore though.

Although I have no idea what the inverter is, I bet Fry's Electronics would have it. They have almost everything you could think of.

LOL he was! Oggle it's the installation actually. If you look up some DIY's they tap into 'something' of the car lol. But when they installed mine they told me it wouldn't work so I had to buy this sort of relay. Take it to a diff installer find out what they say I am looking for phreak too actually for other reasons.....

What you looking for after-hours favors again?

Hmmm guess I'll call TWS and ask them if they can get one for me.
