What don't i have rear footwell lights? I have front ones?
2012 GL350. I have front footwell lights that light up when a door is opened or are dimly lit at night while driving. I just noticed I don't have them for the rear? There are usually lights mounted below the front seats so rear passengers see light. Why don't I have them?
I've seen pics on ebay of other 164's and they have footwell lights in the rear. ebay, 2012 GL350 also:

Interesting, What year is yours? Model?
Isn't it strange that the pic I posted from an ebay GL that's for sale, has rear lights? Those look like lights, right? I didn't think it was the lighting that had me fooled?

I'll have to check mine, now.
But... have you physically verified if they are actually there? Maybe just burnt out bulbs (but strange that it would be both). Possibly fuse?
Was this an option? If so, that would quite easily explain it.

Hmm, here's the ebay listing that shows them on, unless it's me, those look like LIGHTS under there:

Edit, from a 2010 GL option list details, it say's:
"Full Leather Package: GL350 BlueTEC/GL450: $1,900 – GL550: Standard
Ambient Lighting
Confort Headrests
Premium Interior Lighting
Leather Upholstery"
Now, I'm not sure on this, but maybe models with REAL LEATHER, might get the rear footwells?

So, the info I provided in my last post was from 2010, but it seems, if you have REAL LEATHER option, the footwells are standard? as well as ambient lighting on the dash, under glove box and on all doors, like the S class.
