I had a car stereo installer hook it up for me. Not bad, 125.00. I dont know too much about wiring so I didnt want to take a chance. I do recall emailing AMG, on how much for the Illuminated AMG sill and they wanted 399.00 I got these MB ones much cheaper off ebay from PC527.

where: Your local MB dealer (if he has no clue, ask your Mercedes-Benz distributor like MBUSA or call AMG directly).

how much: List price in Germany is 425.00 EUR + tax + fitting

colors: white or blue

Did you guys have an option to buy 2 or did they come as a package (4, one for each door)?
Thanks

As far as I know, they are only available for the front doors.

Could these fit!

There is a package up for sale on E-bay. It includes all four,

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=33705

I asked the seller a couple of Q's and he has been very helpful but... He says that the box has "will fit.....203" He says the box depicts the sills on our c-class. He gave me measurements, "front sills 22 inches, back doors = 14.75” When I went out to measure my sill, the actual brushed aluminum piece was only around 16 inches, and that was for the front doors, the back was around 11.

My main question is should I measure the just the brushed aluminum piece or the whole length of the door, or at least till it starts to arch upward? The auction says it will fit the S-class and those measurements would seem right for the S. Any help or input would be appreciated.


thanks
Evan
