Illuminated Running Boards
Has anyone installed the illuminated running boards (MB part# B6 688 0947)? If so, how much are they and how difficult are they to install?

wow! That's exactly what I was waiting for...I already paved the wires/fuse from the rear dome bulb to the running board locations(and I knew an MB OEM part was on the way...
). I tried some aftermarket puddle LEDs but none has worked out (well...they just looked "aftermarket"
).. I'll definitely give a try on it if it's reasonably priced.

I believe it is a separate kit and not part of the actual running boards, which are sold/ installed separately. Check out page 7...https://pictures.dealer.com/mbzvalen...a8f344f842.pdf

They are fully separate from the running boards, and my dealer said they could not get them yet as of last month

I suspect it requires drilling if not a stick-on(which I don't expect), also the running boards will need to be removed in order to get the LEDs installed on the upper plastic part of the RB.

I haven't see this offered as a factory option, which makes me think that production is low to nil. But I hope I'm wrong, as this would be a great addition to the GL.

I know for the C class illuminated sills the install would've been +5 hours and included soldering, etc.
