Hey Everyone

Hey everyone,

I'm not new to Mercedes but I am new to this site.

Here 's my ride

2013 Mercedes S550

added
22" Lexani CSS7 wheels wrapped in Pirelli Tires.

The car in the pic is at Mercedes and they have the air ride button on for some reason so thats why it's sitting high. I get my car back next week it's been at MB for 90 days so far ( for paint and body work.)
I'm hoping I do not get any tire rub. People are saying I shouldnt but who knows. Fronts are 245/30/22. rears are 295/25/22






I need to paint the locking lug black.

Welcome to MBWorld. Great looking S, but yeah, she looks odd at that height in the pics lol. Might be the angle, but the fronts look like might be close to rubbing, depending on how low you go.

Let us know if we can help you out with any lighting upgrades

Your front parking lights can be upgraded to whiter 194 wedge LEDs, rear plates also use a set of 194 wedge LEDs, front markers if you decide to upgrade to clear/smoked use a set of 194 wedge LEDs, and all your interior bulbs (map, step, courtesy, trunk, vanity mirror, etc) can be swapped to 194 wedge LEDs as well. Let us know if interested and we can put a package together for you

What I would like is the Daytime running LEDS at day time they are very bright. At night time they dim when the headlights come on. I wish they didnt dim and stayed bright. Also I saw a video on youtube, guy had a W221 and the interior light settings were brighter then normal and danced with the music. If you youtube. Mercedes s550 custom ambient lightning youll find it. I thought it looked pretty cool. Im totally not trying to ghetto the car out at all im just trying to go for a nice clean look. Im also thinking of blacking out all my badges and grill.

Maybe you can help me out with these? thanks for your time.

Might be something that can be coded via STAR to set DRL to always torch, otherwise, no simple solution asides from an aftermarket housing replacement. As for interior, you're looking for Rhythm Lights which unfortunately we do not manufacture. We specialize in more simple plug and play direct replacement units.
