Aloha Guys
I have found that these types of boards are incredibly valuable on a number of my vehicles! Wanted to say hello and introduce myself. My name is Dave and I live on Oahu and in the State of Washington sometimes. 53 year old construction professional. Just purchased our second Benz. Wife has a 2007 R350 and I just bought an 07 S550V (V? 
) with 40,000 miles. I am in awe of this car. A few glitches...Airmatic malfunctions in the turns (dealer working on it...thinks it's because of the thin-line rims they put on) sunroof malfunctioned (dealer put a new module in the trunk..seemed to fix it) Otherwise I'm excited to get through the 700 page Owners Manual!!! Maybe I will figure out how to get my cell phone hooked up and what the HE11 the blue thing in the drivers console is!!!
Alooooha Board!

Welcome to MBWorld and grats on the flagship MB! They pack so much into that vehicle that little niggles will always pop up, but don't let the small stuff ruin the absolute pleasure it is to drive that luxury land yacht!
Was just in Oahu on business a few weeks ago... some gorgeous roads to cruise on once you get out of the main city traffic.
Let us know if we can help you out with any aftermarket lighting upgrades to give both the R and S a fresh modern facelift with whiter and brighter lights

Thanks for the welcome AZN!
The wife reallllllly wants LED upgrades for her headlights. Not sure if that is even doable for her 2009 R350. What's available?

So here's the thing... if you're talking low beams, although we have them, we do not recommend LEDs for any forward projecting lights. The housing wasn't designed to capture LED surface mounted light spread and you end up with reduced throw distance, light scatter, and uneven lighting/dark spots. LEDs are ideal for indication type lighting (parking lights, markers, etc) or short throw type lighting (rear plates, interior, etc). What we'd recommend for the R350 is to go with an HID conversion kit. We carry top end Morimoto HID conversion kits that will be plug and play and a very easy DIY. More modern brighter and whiter lights. I'd also suggest pairing with LED front parking/city lights. Should see a pretty dramatic improvement with that combo.
