You can. They are a genuine Mercedes Accessory in the brochure in the UK at £120. They are very clear and look great. I understand you can get similar (and cheaper) on eBay but some have reported problems.

They are a 30 minute fit and a straight swap out for standard door lights.

I cringe when I see a Mercedes station wagon. Or seats for legless people.

Who sees them unless you are entering/exiting the car? Kind of pointless.

Have to agree with the 2 +2 seating totally pointless.

What is this anyway? Are you an artist?


Some cars have a third ‘row’ of seats in the back.
Google is your friend.

Cars with 2+2 seats have much lower insurance rates than 2 seaters do.

Can't afford the insurance - don't buy the car

I like 2+2 seating because it provides and area to put things that is not available in a 2 seater. That said, there is not enough room in the back of my E300 for anyone other than a small child to fit. The distance between the back of the front seat and the front of the rear seat cushion is less than 6 inches.

BTW The last time I checked the insurance difference in the US was about $1,000 per year.

The seats facing aft are fairly useless unless you are extremely short.
Station wagons are for soccer moms. This is a Benz ffs.
All above opinions in good fun of course.
