Does anybody who has the illuminated door sills have them on the back sills? My dealer said they don't make them for the back , only for the front... ??

 

I have it on the front and rear. But mine are 3rd party, not OEM

 

3rd party? where are they from? how much did they cost? are they a pain to install?

 

No, I got it off Ebay. It was quite cheap, compared to dealer's price.

It's also really easy to install. As for wiring all you need is a constant 12v, and wire the ground to the door switch.

 

Check out e-bay! I've seen them being sold pretty cheap.

 

I ordered aftermarket sills on Ebay for $200. That included 4 illuminated sills (2 front/ 2 back). Easy to install even if you have limited "know how" skills. The hardest part is just taking off the panels to hide/access wires. I can give you quite a few tips though for the W210 body. As for power, I tapped into the rear dome light for all 4 sills. It was the easiest route compared to tapping into the battery or front dome light.

 

ok thanks! it almost seems like the two words "mercedes benz" won't fit into the rear doorsill, but i'll give ebay a try, and keep everybody posted! thanks again!

 

Here is a pix of the rear door sill I have on my car.

paomien,
It will fit. It's just the front door sills have a longer metal frame around the words Mercedes Benz. The rear sills are shorter but the lettering is the same size as the front.

 

Thanks all! I will bid on a set from ebay. How long did it take you guys to install??:p

 

Considering I had to figure out how to pull off the panels, it took me longer. It took about 5 hours to do all 4 sills.
