Speaking of the electroluminescent door sills....do you guys think this is too rice if someone were to make a "Mercedes-Benz" one where you could stick to your windshield or back window?

Personally, I would stick it at the center of the base of my rear window and have it lit up (forget the flashing bit) at night. For me, lettering no taller than 1 inch would be my max.
that would be dope

I would do it the exact way you said

Nice coupe! I like the footwell lights! How did you do them? How much did it end up costing you?

Thanks for the compliment! I had someone else installed them for me.

C230 Sport Coup + 2006 W164 ML350 + 99 Ford Escort (What the heck, it gets 38 mpg!)
Where did you get the info on the lighted footwells? Thats a nice touch, especially with black interior, but even in mine, always having crap fall on the floor, and then under the seat, and you need a flashlight to see anything.

If you have a link to a DIY, or can provide more info, it would be appreciated. I'd like to see them go on and off with the interior lights when you open and close the doors.

I didn't get the info on the lighted footwells from anywhere. Ok maybe the C300 rental inspired me since they have illuminated footwells. Basically I have a 9 inch neon white light mounted under the dashboard within each footwell.

I just purchase the lights and brought my car to a car customization store and they installed them for me.

Late to this convo, but i totally agree!!
That what the first thing i took off on the first day once i got mine from Desert Nissan (never buy a car from Desert Auto Group, worst ever!)

Before my car, i had an 02 S10 extreme i got from Carmax. I actually left it on cuz i like carmax; however, i took the x in carmax off. :-p

It would be nice to have the neons wired into one of the non-functioning buttons in the center console.
