Someone posted them before and IMO too cheesy. Might as well buy a Mercedes hat and jacket to go along with it. Just my opinion of course.

That's WAY overkill if you ask me. That screams "look at my MERCEDES ****!!!!!!!!"

I could see something like this on an s class or something, but the owner would probably try to figure out how to turn it off, lol!

Illuminated door sills (those are actually pretty cool) are about as far as I would go personally.

Ok. I ordered four! I couldn't resist. I will post pics later for your amusement and ridicule.

If they are cheesy then I will keep crackers and wine in my car and serve accordingly.

People don't need that cheesy light to know you are driving a Merc. Way overkill.

I'd rather have the lighted sills. There are a little on the cheesy side. I saw they awhile ago and showed them to the wife. Got the eye roll.

The 2013-2014 Mustangs have this as an option. It shines a huge pony on the ground. My father likes it on his stang. Mercs though.....you dont really need it in my opinion.

They would be less cheezy if it was just the circle and three point star. No need for the outer "Mercedes Benz" circle.

I bought a pair a while ago. Have not installed them though. I figured when I get around to putting a sound system in my car I would decide if I want to add them while I have the door panels off anyway. I also thought about mounting one in the trunk to project on the trunk floor when it is open, and the other on the front of the car wired to turn on when the hood is open. About the only ricey thing I ever considered.

Oh come on now, there were people of all races driving crappy econobox cars in the F&F movies, just because the cars were mostly Japanese. LOL
