I had a global position in a multinational oil company - I took early retirement in March last year but now I'm back consulting. Been most places in the world but spent much of 15 years opening up new businsses in Asia. Thailand, Malaysia, moved our head office from Dallas to Singapore in ,97 - Indonesia, Cambodia, Vietnam, China, Taiwan, Japan, Korea, Philippines, Laos, Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Nepal.

Spent a lot of time in Vietnam. In the early days the staff at the Saigon Prince Hotel used to keep a special room for me. The Hotel was new then '96.

Yeah! still got over 3 million miles & lot's of hotel points. Free holidays for the rest of my life. My holiday to Thailand last year cost me $1000 spending money which goes a long way there. Local food that I love, Singha Beer - lot's of nights out with the locals - what more could a man want.

The Americans are so lucky - They get great prices. Your car is probably pretty high spec though - full leather, Bi Xenon etc. etc.

Thai market got Bi-Xenon, pedal shifter, folding mirrors, full leather and fully-powered seats(but no heated because it's damn hot in Thailand)

US market got AMG body kit, 3-spoke steering wheel and moonroof...which Thai market doesn't have.

just get the LED bulbs. there's more than 10 bulbs for the interior, if i can remember right, and LED's for the most part work fine inside. just have to get the correct bulb sizes for the festoons, and the 194's any should be fine
