Puddle lights
When I read that this feature was deleted on the new cars, I didn't give it much thought.
Today we had a heavy rain in the NY/NJ area. And I realized that our E39 BMW has puddle lights on the bottom of the door.
If your car is one without puddle lights, is it dark around the car when you step out?
Thanks,
David

Since the W211 has W203 part numbered mirrors, it would be easy to substitute mirrors without lights. If the ones in the door panels were deleted, the hole would have to be covered with the blank plastic plate found in some C-class cars.

I would have prefered to have the ones on the doors removed instead of the ones on the mirrors. The ones on the mirrors are nice when you unlock the doors at night to be able to see what you might step in before you open the door.

The under the mirror lights is one of the things that makes the car very cool in my opinion. I can see my way in and out of my garage side with those things.. I LOVE them...

Thanks.
Thanks.
