I am very interested in this project as well. If you remember I even dm'ed you about a year ago asking you if it is possible, so I am very glad that you took the job in your own hands and with your skills I am sure it will turn out great.

Do you happen to have any update on the project? Also, for some reason the pictures don't show up, so maybe you could have a look at your hosting site or maybe the problem is just on my side

If you mean the ILS headlights so no. SO much work involved in upgrading to them from standard halogen lights...

Also done b-pillar and c-pillar in alcantara now. And before I did the centerconsole in that to so it looks fantatic all together now. Also retrofitted the cupholder cooler and heater. AWESOME look with the LED light and works amazingly well. Gets super cold in seconds.

I dont think its complicated..

But you need to remove the hole console to exchange the cupholer from underneath and also add a new cablekit.

Hey Chris! Whats the word on this BEAST!? I have been looking for a cupholder, being patient, I found one for $175, but you mentioned a wire harness that's needed? Any way you could post that part number? 2014 ML350

Project is a bit on hold. I have had SO MUCH trouble with the title on this car and registering it here in Sweden. Still not solved. So as soon it hopefully is it will start again. I can look up the partnumber for you for sure.
