Very nice Thomas.
I just got two sets of those HOEN bulbs as well.
One went on the wifey's C320 SS
and the other set went on my C320 SC.

I love 'em ?
I should of bought another set for the ML though. Good thinking !
Haven't done anything to the ML, since it's fully loaded.

tell the place that did your moleskin that they did too much, you didnt need to actually remove the whole door panel...just take it off and rest it on a stool, saves the trouble of having to disconnect all the wiring..
