illuminated ignition ring
Does the w203 have an illuminated ignition ring? My 2001 c240 has the clear plastic surround, but never illuminated since I bought it. Is this normal, or is there a bulb somewhere burnt out? Thanks!

the reason why is clear because they use the same ignition ring for all MB cars
from the E class and up, they do illuminate ....

so does it illuminate or is it for higher level cars such as the E and S etc?
Another question, I have an 04 and the lighter is on the counsul where the cup holder is, does that green clear circle around the lighter illuminate?

Can you change the color of the light around the ciggarette lighter? Is there a bulb you can change? Also, anyone ever seen that Blue LED ciggarette lighter on Ebay for like 18.99? Since the light is always on...I'd like to change it to blue, and eventually get that lighter as I actually do not have a lighter, it's been empty since I purchased the car.

But na what i was saying was the light was on, but my cig outlet was broke, then i got the cig lighter fixed, and the ring light went off, i would have had it broke and the circle light, vs it working and no light. But i guess you cant have it all in a 04. But yeah the cig lighter from ebay does look pretty cool. I wonder the quality.

Yeah i was it on ebay, with the blue dots around it ? I would grab it, one if i smoked, two if my lights wernt amber. My OCD wont let me. But na what i was saying was the light was on, but my cig outlet was broke, then i got the cig lighter fixed, and the ring light went off, i would have had it broke and the circle light, vs it working and no light. But i guess you cant have it all in a 04. But yeah the cig lighter from ebay does look pretty cool. I wonder the quality.

Yeah i hope the quality would be good, I dont smoke but have passengers that sometimes do....its like 18.99 plus shipping...I wish the price could come down a little bit, I'm being sort of cheap, but at the moment I'd rather put that towards filling the tank w/ gas, but I think I'm definitely gonna get it soon...if this thread is still relatively active when I do, I'll post pics and let you know how it is..

The guy on ebay who is selling the lighters is from Germany. I sent him a question cuz I wanna make sure it is illuminated all the time and not just only when you press it in to use it....I was looking for other ones, and saw other ones that only lighted when you press it in, so if it stays lit, I'll buy it tonight or tomorrow and would hopefully have it sometime next week...I'll keep u posted on this thread....

I got a response about the LED lighter, it only lights when pushed to use, therefore I wont be buying it cuz I don't smoke, so I'm just gonna get a regular lighter I guess when I get a chance, unless I find a different one..
