Texas+Brown+Old Car= Vato

edit, go trade that car for an old MB 190, Slam it , throw some AMG wheels on it and Pimp correct..

 

What's vato?

 

OK that rules out you being Mexican.

Serious, go trade that Lexus for an Old BNZ yo..

 

No, if I trade it in I'm trading it in for a new Benz. Whenever this dies or I force it to die.

 

IF you Force it to die, use the Dark Side.

 

Yeah!!!!... like Mr Vader... use the forged and choke it to death!

Wiedermann do you have any pics of your light up door sills?


id like to see them

 

Mr mobrule:
I apologize it took me a couple of days to answer, but here are the pics with a bit of info as well! :

Front and rear door sills look on a high light intensity environment (like in the middle of the day, when door sills will not lit due to the surrounding high light environment --detected by light sensor--)



Front and rear door sills look on a low light intensity environment (door sills lit due to the surrounding low light environment --detected by light sensor--)

A little foot note to the sills:

Rear door sills are not your "clip ons" you can buy on other websites, they are custom made by Mr Harris from http://www.hartonmotorwerks.com

Front door sills are the OEM Mercedes Benz product

Cost of installing them????... whelp???? I had them both done at the Mercedes Benz dealership, so the cost to install them was actually MORE than the cost of the sills themselves (they were both installed the "Mercedes Benz" way... which means dismantell half the car and route power from the rear to the front of the vehicle. There is a "flip" side to this though... there are instructions provided and there are many members on the board whom have actually done the work themselves on their own cars... there are even instructions posted how to "do it yourself" out there... Mr Harris from http://www.hartonmotorwerks.com WILL provide you with the set of instructions actually... he even insisted to give them to me... however, in my case, all I asked if the custom rear ones "could be installed the Mercedes Benz way" which Mr Harris responded with a cool "Yes they can!"... though is not price recommended. Time to install by the dealer 3.5 hours each time (3.5 hours for the front, 3.5 hours for the rear... again, had all 4 been installed at the same time, it would have been only 3.5 hours for all 4)

If I had installed all 4 door sills at the same time, then the price of installation would have not been price prohibitive. I basically was charge TWICE to install the sills... the first time for the fronts... and the second time for the rears (as in each instance the car had to be basically dismantelled --panels, etc, etc-- to rout epower for the sills)... I was not able to take pictures of the work as the local M Benz dealership for "legal" reasons would not allow me to...

The good thing is that they (sills) are ALL there and work beautifly...

Cheers!

Custom!

 

cool they look real nice

do they all go on when a door is opened? Or does only one sill light up when the corresponding door opens?

 

Mr mobrule:

Door sills illuminate based on the section of the car... front doors illuminate each door independently from each other only if the door is opened, on the rear, sills will illuminate only if the rear doors are opened (same as the front/rear dome light). On the front doors, there are separate ballast for each of the front doors... on the rear one ballast is used for both sills.

Mr Vader!:
I sense a tremor on the dark heavy side of the Brabus!

The forged is with us!!!... (that is until someone places another order with them and they (iForged) screws the customer up again with his order!...)

At the risk of bringing this thread close to back on topic, I say the flagship is the S600. Highest end sedan that MB makes. AMGs don't count because they're tuned by AMG.
