Just a thought - I wonder if M-B has temporarily run out of colored surrounds and they decided to use black ones to keep the assembly line running. If so, then the colored pieces will show up again. If so, it should be interesting to see what M-B and GL Faher have to say about this latest move. Must have been a decision based on their superior intellect.

Once again more support for a black interior! It always come back to black with cars. It's a sure timeless color for cars - inside and out!

Hey guys, I just checked in the electronic parts catalog. About 100 different light switches are listed for the GL550 4MATIC at www.startekinfo.com
For example with code 489 Airmatic DualControl/Semiactive Airsuspension, with code 808 for model year 2008, and with code 616 for BiXenon Headlight with Active Curvelight and Left Hand Drive, the part number is 164 545 32 04.
Then there are three color codes which are appended:
-7376 Alpaca gray
-8483 Buckskin
-9116 Black, dull
So the switch would be 164 545 32 04 - 9116 in black, and 164 545 32 04 - 8483 in buckskin. But the tricky part may be to get a parts department to actually order the part.

Good info! Which one did you subscribe to: https://epc.startekinfo.com/epc/subscribe2.jsp

I signed up for the $20 per year option. In addition to North American parts, it also covers quite a number of ROW/Euro parts as well.
