My Car Looks Like a SpaceShip

I wanted to post some pics of my car at night. I recently had blue LEDs put in the interior (to give it a limo-type ambiance) and got a little carried away and put them on the outside of the car as well. These lights only come on when I lock and unlock the car for around 20 seconds or so. I dont drive with these lights on as I think they would be illegal and I think that would be a little tacky. The LEDs are in the tail lights, side blinkers, front star, as well as underneath the car. I know all of you conservatives on here are going to lay it on me, but I dont care -- I like it .

The interior lights look great. Pretty much all the interior lights, except for the map lights are all blue LEDs now and I have additional LEDs underneath the dash that glow. Looks really nice. I will try to post pics...

Yeah, I was ifffy about the lights in the star. I can disconnect the those LEDs in a second so nothing is permanent by any means.

I think my guy had to take apart those side mirror blinkers and put the LEDs in. The cool thing is that they dont interfere with the blinkers. Blinkers are still functional with same color they were before. Not sure exactly how he did it.

Whatever there's gas in...
Looks good, but I agree that the emblem looks a little Tucker-ish..

Any pics of your 550 style tail lights? I'm trying to decide on them...thanks!


*EDIT* - I found the link.

Here's the link to my post when I first put on my 2007 lights. The prices have come down on them. I gont mine for almost $300.00 -- now they are around $175.00 on EBay.

That looks amazing, probably turns a lot of heads. I think the lights in the tail lights look the best, ever thought of putting lights in the rear bumper mesh?

Yeah, my buddy that installed all of the lights is out of his mind -- he is trying to put them everywhere on my car -- I had to calm him down. But he knows everything about a Benz

All you need is some spinners with LEDs in them and your set.

Cocaine White DAMN -- never heard that before! Yeah, I love the color on my car. The pearl has to be seen in person to really appreciate it -- pics dont really do it justice. I am in NC so I dont have to worry to much about competition with my set-up. I didnt install the puddle lights -- my buddy did it for me, but I dont think it was too difficult. Keep in mind they come in blue and bright white -- I think the blue looks much better. Useful ??? Nothing "useful" about them . Your car would like really nice with them though. Thanks for the compliment my man.

I am thinking about lowering it B. Did you get yours lowered yet? I dont see much of my old CLK in that pic. All I see is a glimpse of a white car -- could be any white car...
