ingition light
hey guys,
recently i had noticed that on my 91 300ce the ignition doesnt have a light around in like on most newer cars. Does anyone know if this car just never had one or if it just went out? if it went out, how do i fix it? if it never had one, how can i add one? thanks in advance.

The switch on the light by the mirror can be set to allow it to light with the door open.

lol you mean you dont like neanander's?

i believe they started with the light ring in the c-class when they changed its chassis. dont know the chassis # off the top of my head but i am sure a junkyard would sell you the pieces. and if i am not mistaken most lighted ones were on the steering column and not on the dash. will be a fun mod fo sho.
