Has anyone painted running boards?

Looks like MB forgot

How about adding LED's? Is there OEM retrofit? Aftermarket?

(just picked up 2014 GL550, and cannot wait to start modding, right after I get it back from service, Dealer cannot get TPMS computer to work - day 2)

Do you mean headlights or adding some LED lights to the running boards?
