That was the easiest and quickest mod I think I have ever done. Made a huge difference!

Not even 10 minutes for both sides. Unplug old lights, plug in new lights.

I am thinking about the facelift headlights but I cant justify that price to myself...yet.

I still have to do my tune, new wheels, and possibly the facelift body kit from Gary.

Will post pics in few.

that is too funny...this time I wasnt getting gas though, I stopped to get a pack of gum.

I actually get really good gas mileage...I am averaging 22mpg on the highway...I havent really had a chance to just drive around town yet to see what I am getting.

First thing....take that V12 off the back. It looks brutal and poser-esque. The car doesn't need more badges.


Second....expect your in town mileage to drop to around 12-13 mpg. Also, the computer is a bit generous on the gas mileage. You can subtract at least 1/2 mpg from what the computer tells you. "Really good gas mileage" and "S600" in the same sentence is an oxymoron.

hahahaha, I am!

Yeah...I have never been one to care about gas and mileage...I used to get about 11mpg in my rover anyway.

I LOVE THIS CAR....I don't know how much I can emphasize it.

Nice update. It does freshen up the look of the rear end by a good margin.

i like the led lights. but everyone says its such a huge difference. i dont think so at all. putting wheels, or a kit, or lowering your car makes a huge difference in the looks department. anyways looks nice.

Agreed The V12 badge has to go. The other day I saw a artic white Gl550 driving around with V8 Biturbo badges everywhere(about 5), a spoiler under the rear glass, hoodscoop, and chrome pillars. You don't want to roll with that crew. If you needed to have one on it should be on the fenders.
