2016 GLE 350 Interior LED

Has anyone tried trying to change the interior lights to LED? I can't find LED bulbs for 2016 GLE models, only seeing 2012-2014 ML models. Do they use the same type/amount of bulbs as the older ML models?

I would venture to say that they would be the same.

Do you offer different colours for the footwell? I'm hoping to match it with the interior ambient lighting (polar = ice blue)

We do have a few 8000K still available if interested. Those are white with a slight bluish hue. Let me know if interested and I can set you up.

I've been trying to find DIY guides on changing the interior lights but haven't been able to find any for the GLE. There are guides for older models like really old ones but those are a lot easier to change.

I've manage to change most of the interior lights in the car without any issues but the ones that are giving me the most difficult is the front dome lights, and the lights under the rear view mirror. The rear view mirror requires a really small driver to get in I believe.

I removed the front dome but there was no way for me to change the bulbs without taking the entire dome unit apart.

The rear passenger reading lights are also a pain, they are the ones where you press on them and they light up. Any tips regarding swapping these bulbs?

Pics be nice, thanks!

+1 for the rear reading light bulbs, one of mine is blown but can't figure out how to get the bulb out!
