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.

Clean job. I like the doors sills.

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!Originally Posted by Huachipato

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...Originally Posted by loyalone

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.

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:Originally Posted by Reynaldo

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!
