2012 S600 LED door Sills

I called the dealer to install the OEM LED door sills, after couple hours he called me back and said that he did a very big research and found out that the illuminated Sills are not meant to be used on the S600, but rather only the S550.

I am confused as I looked in the brochure for the 2012 S class and there are not notes "no fine prints" when it comes to the description of the illuminated door sills. Versus almost most of the other specifications had disclaimers about which model they apply to.

Any S600 2012 owner had illuminated door Sills installed?


Thank you for your help.

And here you can see them on this 2012 S600. Your dealer is just being lazy and doesn't want to deal with helping.

Personally, I really like them. Everyone always makes a comment when they get inside.

How much did you pay for them and how much was the installation?

By the way have you ever got the Bluetooth audio streaming on the 2012 S600?

They were a factory option already on the car... I think $950. But, as I said, they were already on the car.

Not for S600? One of the most stupid things I Heard. There is NO difference at ALL on ANY W221 when it comes to sills. They fit ALL W221. What a tard!! Only diference here in EU is short or long wheelbase kits. But in the US you only have long.

After calling 4 dealers I called the corporate office directly, and here is the truth:

The door sills are available but not for gray interior cars (other colors available), however when my service person was accessing the centralized MB system (I forgot what he called it), it said do not use on S600.

My interior is black, I have ordered them and they should install this week. Pictures will follow.

You always come through!! Ey Chris inbox your email. I have some question on the rear conversion. I went to the dealership to price the the diffuser, quad tips etc and they need a s63 VIN to look up the parts. do you know the OEM part numbers for these pieces. I don't want aftermarket unless its the last resort and I want the tips with the AMG logo.
