Ambient lighting issue
I'm a new owner and I noticed where the "Mercedes Benz" is always the color blue on doors sill. I changed the ambient lighting in the car to a different color a few times, but the "Mercedes Benz" wording never changes......... Is there a different place I have to go to change it? Thanks

The illuminated door sills are a mod on a 221, they're not a part of the original ambient lighting system. You'd have to pull the sills (they just snap in and out) and swap in different color LEDs. Or just leave the OEM lights on "Polar". Whoever owned the car previously did you a favor though. Those sills aren't cheap.

Don't have them tho they came standard on my rx350. Definitely not worth $950, but if they are already optioned in your car that's a bonus for sure!
