My ML Mods

not a whole lot, but just wanted to make it a bit unique

I had already done the interior LED lights, there is a thread somewhere for that...

Recently I have painted the front grille black.....







the grille was painted with black Plastidip paint and then we removed the paint from the chrome parts, something a bit different...

Next was the install of my HID's, which I purchased a long time ago from AZN Optics, just never had time to install them, actually still didn't have time so I had a local shop do the install for me, and it turned out beautiful







Great light output, no error codes, all works as it should, just hope they last for a bit, but the install was done in such a way I can easily go back to stock bulbs without any trouble at all.

Well that's it for now, saving my pennies for some new rims one day....

It looks good.. I wonder how the grill would have looked all black with just the MB emblem in chrome..

I hear the Plastidip is amazing stuff...
