I don't see it. Looks like bicycle reflector to me. is it suppose to light up? day and night?

They are to light up only when light hits them, if I am not wrong..

So it doesnt have light blub behind them?... i guess i should try them out at night or shine a flash light at it... lol

Try it out eh

well just confirmed, can't get them to lit up at night, with headlights on and etc....

gonna need to pry open that cover to see if there a bulb....

Sorry I meant to say its like a bike reflector, it won't light up, but if you have another vehicle and park it behind and turn on the head lights, you will see them reflect back....

that pix I posted sure looked like it had a bulb in it.... are the US version getting ripped off again? no wonder we are getting the good deals.

anyone can confirm this?

I am sure its just a reflector. I have had the doors open at night with the headlights on and dont recall seeing the door light on.

Did MB skimp on the door lights to save costs? This doesn't make sense, most cars now these day have door panel lighting, including the rdx and x3 they were comparing.

I read on WSJ the othe day that BMW will no longer give out 09 sales target. Instead it will focus on inventory control and cost savings from suppliers and factories.

Scary huh? Makes you wonder if one should buy a car that's made during recession....

maybe it's time for you to replace your reflector lights so that it can be easily recognize by different people.

All my 4 doors light up.
I'm pretty sure you need the Leather package with interior light package?
My window sticker says $200.00 for light package that is not on M-B web-site.
My car was a launch model for the dealer & I wonder if I got something unique?

I think you are right. its ridiculous tho, 45k car and the door reflector don't lite up.

hahah who cares...I would not even know those little things light up.

Illuminated door seals would be nice but $680 is too much for them.

actually that is one very important safety feature, especially for driver side where you might be opening doors at night or foggy condition.

go check ur matrix, does it light up? :P


door seals light is different purpose, those are vanity, not safety.

^^ you mean door 'sill'?

Agree, this is a very basic safety feature I can't believe GLK doesn't have it in standard.

yea door sill lights, not seals :P

Here is jp post about what's behind those reflector.

Do let us know if the Canada version comes with this please?

Solution: Put a couple of LED inside the reflector and paralleled them to the speaker. Then you will have the door light, plus music light show... haha

gotta find a way to hang da crystal ball on my pano roof!

ok english is not my first language thanks for corrections tho, maybe my spelling will improve after hanging on this forum.

Thats why you have the roof rails.

Must be a cost saving feature ! I know they lit up in C-Class, even the base model !
