Door Sills

I just got my Illuminated door sills...They look great but there is no balast or relay...Does that seem right?

I figured they were just "plug and play", but my tech will be installing them....so really I don't have any further answers, sorry.

If you are looking for aftermarket door sills for the W208, look at www.formymercedes.com. That is where I got a set for my '02 CLK430 & he has some for the W209 also, but when I got them, they did not fit. I have been left with getting the factory one from Harris, but they are $950 for the set!!! I really like the look, but am having a hard time swallowing the lump that will have to be carved out of my wallet.

Sounds like they're trying to get you the one that says either Mercedes-Benz or CLK.

So when you guys buy these door sills, do you have the dealership instal them . Or do you guys put them in yourselves? How much did the dealership charge you if they did it?
I don't think I would be able to put those things by myself.

If you have the real OEM sills (not the sill covers), the dealer can charge you up to 6-8 hours of labor because they basically have to gut your interior to route the wiring and fuses the MB way. If you are really conscious about your warranty, you should let your dealer do the work for you. If not, you can always find a local shop that would be able to put those in for you.
