Hi Axl,
sick ride, unbelievable.... i actually saw your car first in the car magazine, now see it here with more pics... crazy! white & black, so classy!
i know you already explained you switched the led'S in your window switches & such. my question is, how? and would you have pics (DIY) to show it for? any soldering involved? on another thread/forum i saw pics of a guy who also made his airco unit (klima) with blue led's.
i'd like all mine to be brighter white than the amber (can barely read that stuff).... how about your Tacho (kombi)? same thing there?
thx 4 explaining, and happy tuning.... looking forward to see what you do next

hi,
first thx for your compliments. and for the others, im a musician -
i feel and live creativity, as you can see there is nothing unmodded in may car
so whether its hood rich or ghettofabouls i prefer to call it axl-end (excellent)
now for you kc
yes a lot of soldering is involved here, i let my buddy an electrician to take out all the switches open them and solder a red led.
as for the tacho, i simple put red lights in it.
you usually have 3 red and three usual lamps as light for the display, now if you tkae the same red bulbs and put them everywhere in the tacho, it will look like mine

Axl, sure seems like there's no end to your creativity, and nobody seems to mind here either
thx for explaining... ll find me a buddy with a soldering hobby i guess.
i actually just heard (saw) your youtube vids..... jeez, some sound that engine/exhaust makes! for an E320....WAW. to what extent did you upgrade your exhaust system to get this result? i have an E420....but don't feel i "hear" the V8 enough.... i am sure it can be much better
cheers

2002 e320
hey axl very nice care man. im out here is los angeles and got myself one of these a few months ago but never had the reason to do anything to it till i seen some ppl really make em look good, such as urself and ur friend. its a 2002 e320, i love what uve done with the car but mine is black so i got for ur bud there. I had a question....those headlight are plain and simple HIDs? can u give me a link to where i can purchase those??
also dont listen to anyone telling u to get a black grille. that would be ridiculously ugly IMO. white looks clean and dont change it.
this is mine
http://www.benzworld.org/gallery/sho.../ppuser/130487
nothing special as u see but what my main WANTS right now are....to Get THOSE LIGHTS U HAVE, PAINT GRILLE BLACK and TINT THE BACK LIGHTS (leaving the reverse lights untinted) what do u think. eventually once i get more money i will get these http://www.myhotmercedes.com/mercede...eel_set/534529

In my opinion you have one of the nicest w210's I have seen ( the wheels are not my favorite but they look good and its your car). The lights looks great along with everything else you have done to the car.
Do you have any pictures or a write up of how you did the exhaust? I plan on copying you setup if thats ok (best looking ive seen so far). Can you tell me how hard it was, what muffler, and anything else that might be helpful.
Keep up the good work the car looks great ..
