Illuminated door sills

I was thinking of getting these on the 2007 on order, but the dealer is not being of much help.

When I go to the AMG site, they give part numbers for illuminated or non-illuminated sills for models before 3/06, but only non-illuminated for models after 3/06. When I go to the build your own site on MBUSA they state that illuminated sills are an option, but list the color as white. What happened to blue! When I think of going aftermarket, the usual suppliers dont know about this year.

I know they changed the plastic inner sill to chrome, so I wonder if the outer sill under the door has changed as well.

Anyone with a 2007 in their possession care to comment? Anyone else?

Paul

Yes

And 4 weeks seems forever away. I will have the boat # and tracking information today so I can "follow" the boat across the Ocean.

After talking with the Dealer today he said the Illuminated door sills for the 07 SL were not currently available.

He was going to start digging into it...
