Are the cover screens full blackout or do they allow sun through? My wifes Acadia allows sun through the perforated screen and it sucks. . .had to tint the sunroof. . .

They are not blackout screens. But they don't really allow sunrays to shine through.

Glad to know - thank for the info. I'm going to delete that option from my order - 100 degree days don't fare well for a non-blackedout sunroof. It's a terrible "feature" on the Acadia, depending on climate - so, any screen that doesn't blackout is not worth paying an extra G for the "feature" (keep in mind, I'm talking about brutal summers).

The shades do manage to block out sun to a certain extent. Not worth paying for the pano roof if you don't think you'll need/use it. I think they should have put the same Magic sky control that is available on the SLK. At least with that system it blocks most of the light (close to 80% or 90%)

MAGIC SKY CONTROL doesn't darken the sunroof any more than a standard roof (approx 20% light transmission). Rather, it allows you to increase the transparency.

Hmm... looked a lot darker when I drove one a few weeks ago. Still... I'm sure the technology is capable of darkening even further, which was the point I was trying to make regarding the sun shades for the pano roof

In darkened mode it only transmits about 5% of the energy of transparent mode: http://www.emercedesbenz.com/autos/m...-control-roof/

H7 led looks interesting. But it will not have the correct focal point that a real h7 has. Especially for something that is rarely used( no will see it) but really necessary to function properly when you do.

How do you like your 6000k bulbs I have 4300k and 5000k bulbs but don't like their bluish white light. I'd like a more pure white light.
