chicks dig it.
So I got bored and decided to add the Brabus lighted sills and SL light kit. I had the European impact strips without the side marker installed too.
The lights only come on when the dome light is on, ie. doors open...etc.
But the coolest thing was the look on this girl's face last weekend after dinner when the valet brings it up and she gets in...priceless...I felt like the lights helped me seal the deal.
A few pics below:

yup

No, the lights go on only when the dome light is on...so I guess if you wanted to drive around with your dome light on they would stay lit...but that would be kinda lame. I like it as a quick subtle accent that fades out just as the inside lights dim out after the door is open/shut.
Are your sills Brabus? Are they from Brabus or some other online place?
I haven't had any problems yet (knock on wood) although the installer did say that one of the new ones did not work out of the box and that he had to swap it for another one.
clkcrazy: LED's were about $450 installed.
Good luck bud.

So you got the aftermarket sills? What lettering? MBZ?
The exhaust I got was actually Brabus...and just like you, I had a HORRIBLE time trying to get it set properly by the installer. (I didn't go through Brabus direct) First, they both stuck out too far. Then, one side would be off, then the other, finally, I took it to Brabus and within 30 minutes, Peter fixed it for free; it sits perfect now. I should have gone to Brabus directly in the first place. I learned my lesson -Never again...
I'll snap a pic later to show you how they set it up. I know for sure that yours can be fixed.
