I've not been a Merc member for long and seen these, not sure if it's cool or taboo? What do you pro's think?
Lets see yours if you have them.

Best one I have. It's not noticeable during the day but really pops at night.

I realize my opinion is in the minority here, but I'm not a big fan of the lighted tri-star. To me, it seems like one is screaming "Look at me. I drive a Mercedes. And I don't want the darkness of night to interfere with you knowing." It seems quite narcistic to me.

But hey, I've got to admit. They do look nice. But I just can't bring myself to do it.

For me, it's the lights under the door that project to the ground that was "too much."

Yea, that's another mod that I probably will never do. Although it is different, as for the most part the only people that will see it is the occupants of your car.

I’m a nay.

But I do want a standing star hood ornament on anything Merc,* and love the logo puddle lights ($20 on Amazon).

* Turns out I can’t get one on my ‘13 ML350. Bummer.

LOL!! "And don't want the darkness of night to interfere with you knowing"
That was so well put ! Although I do like mods that include illumination, that part of your comment was great!
