You guys need to do this quick and easy mod if you have not already. Instantly modernizes the car substantially.

ordered blue interior leds for my C43.
haven't got them yet, I imagine they will look cool when they are installed.
getting bluish interior lights matching my illuminated AMG doorsills must be cool.
front and rear dome roof lights will all illuminate in blue.

blue led for glove compartment light.

also I ordered white leds for rear license plate lights.

white leds for front parking lights giving fake matching colors to my whitish xenons.

daem, just realised I forgot to order white leds for make up mirrors on front sunvisors, are these bulbs difficult to install?

See I already ordered everything in blue leds, but switched to the ultra white because it looked to "tuner car" like. Not classy and sophisticated like a mercedes should be (IMO). Anyway, The way I did it sure makes a difference, and the ultra white really makes the car's interior look great at night. I'd be interested to see how you end up doing yours, so feel free to post a vid clip when you're through!

Where can i get the illuminated door sills

Those were a $1300 option when ordering the car new. There may be some places producing them as aftermarket additions, but I dont know.

nice.

I believe those exterior lights on the mirrors are so you don't step into a puddle at night when entering the car

This is correct :-)

Where did you purchase the set of interior lights ??? Also what size are those bulbs in the interior ?
Thanks

Nice. My puddle lights are also LED (because I upgraded to the new < >) mirror turn signals and they're carbon fibered too which I had to get customized. Awesome thing I also got custom done that was inspired by the Maybach is that my turn signal lights stay on when I turn the lights on. Basically, my turn signal lights also act as LED DRL in the mirrors. Then they blink when I put my turn signals on. Many benefits to it. At night time, You see how far out my mirrors are so no one can clip/hit them and shows how wide the car is. Thought you'd like that, NEVER seen that on any Benz, beside the Maybach of course. Was very hard to get that done properly, but it looks OEM truth be told.
But anyway, on topic, I also switched out my interior lights to LED as well. And it does make a refreshing look.

But what I really REALLY want done is to switch out out all the backlit button lights (for example when at night and turn the car on all the lights behind the buttons <seat adjustment buttons, window buttons, center console buttons, the ABC button, rear window shade button etc...all of them>) they are all lit in orange....I hate orange. I want to switch out all those lights to a hyper white. I think it would make it look so futuristic instead of plain ol' orange. And while I'm at that, I'd love to change the color of the speedometer. Instead of orange, to have the MPH "floating" needle/RPM needle/Engine temp needle and fuel needle in red to look sportier. And then the 0-200 MPH/V8 Kompressor light in that cool Maybach blue. I know it could work because if you look at the following picture, the W215 and the Maybach uses LITERALLY the same exact screen



Just little touches like that I think would be awesome.
Especially since I already have quite a few parts from the Maybach on my CL. Like the headrests and other little (awfully expensive) things. So crazy how a car that starts at nearly half a million (barely loaded lol) and uses the a lot of the exact same parts as the S and CL class (W220/W215)

Plus mine also came with the illuminating AMG door sills in blue. But my car has quite a few red accents...so what I did is disasembled the door sills and switched out the blue strip to red. So now AMG illuminates in red. Never seen that before

Did you have to use canbus error free LED's? I've been thinking of doing this too. The factory lights look outdated.
