I thought it was going to be a breeze, but NOOOO...it took a bit of time to install with my brother, and the trunk lid...man...let's just say 3M makes good double-sided tape. Cut my fingers open trying to pry that thing off to fix the wiring. In the end, it was more than worth it...it totally adds a unique and 'complete' look to the rear-end of the E-Class.

The illuminated door sills are also really nice...adds that unique touch as well...I know that when I get another car, I'm most definitely putting them in the next car as well. Let me know what you guys think.

A few more for the trunk lid...enjoy!

nice. i have a set for mine but haven't gotten around to installing them....or
convinced that it's the right match for my Bordeaux/charcoal ride. on the rear
plate light....does your DMV allow blue? many states don't.

Here's an idea as to how the chrom trunk lid and the chrome license frame complement each other...enjoy!

I haven't had any trouble with it so far, and I've had it installed for 2 months. We'll see.

Clean job. I like the doors sills.
I think the trunk would lose its kuul effect after awhile.

Reynaldo

Ghaffar do you have the instructions for the door sills I just received mine today? E-320 2000. Would greatly appreciate it!

Its nice to see other people in missouri customizing their benz.

Well, you can always buy different EL strips...I recall one of mine shorting out for a while when it rained real bad and I ran into a rather deep puddle. I was considering different colors. They come in yellow, green, red, different shades of blue, violet...you name it. Just have to find it. Then, I took the door sill apart and let it dry...good as new!

ghaffar23

No thanks...just a set of Lorinser LM5's for me

ghaffar23

Not too bad...I got my instructions from zam2000...just do a search with his posts, and it'll come up. Depending upon your sills, you may have to do some drilling to clear the wires...

These two threads should help guide you, as they did for me.

I really like the door sills. The trunk lid is definitely unique, although I personally wouldn't do it.

Reynaldo

Would someone, please, be kind to provide me some info w/ regards to the lighted trunk lid/handle....Where can I get one like that for my ML? TYIA!

Cheers!

Well, I looked at the dimensions of the W163 trunk lid and the W210 trunk lid, and they seem to have the same measurements. It would be a rather expensive ($72 + $60) experiment, but here are the links to both the W210 illuminated trunk lid and the W163 chrome, non-illuminated:

I hope that this helps you out, Reynaldo!

Reynaldo

Thank-you so much, ghaffar!
I'm more concerned about the fitting than the cost, really...I'll call the car dealer to see if it fits.
Again, I really appreciate the info, ghaffar!

Cheers mate!
