illuminated door sills
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... ??

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.

sills
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.

it will fit
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.
