Definitely very unique! I don't think I would do this on my CLA 45 AMG, however I already have light up LED AMG Door sills that came from the factory

Having some classy illuminated sills is a nice touch IMO (factory fitted). On the other hand, the "Hey look at me" spot-light mod doesn't belong on these cars, or any for that matter.

I've seen these all over eBay and this was the first time I've seen it installed, how it installs and how it looks. So thanks OP for the video.

Pretty simple to do and a cool concept, just not my cup of tea either.

Remember when this was all the rage?

I'm not a fan either but we all have our own tastes. Don't worry about what others think. If you like it, it's all good. Keep doing your own thing.
