Has anyone installed the illuminated sills on a E class W212. I mainly want to know if I am better off buying the battery operated ones or the hard wire ones. Also has anyone put them in the rear ? Thanks

 

same here, was surprised when the dealer told me it doesn't come with the AMG sport package..

 

Someone just posted his that uses batteries and magnets to sense the door opening/closing. Other than that you can buy aftermarket ones that you can hardwire to. I went for that route last year and had each door done for like 20 bucks at a car audio place. Dealer sills cost like 800 alone.

 

did you have the rear ones done also or just the front? Thanks.

 

My E550 (C207) came with them from the factory. They were very cool when I first saw them. Yet, to be honest, after a short few months of ownership, I didn't even remember/notice they were there until I read this thread...
