Are the door sills dimmable?

Just picked up a '15 black E63 S. So far I'm liking it! Last night I noticed the AMG door sills are extraordinarily bright. I was wondering if there's a way to dim them. Have searched around but haven't found anything yet.
Thanks!

Hmmm, dimmer sills.......maybe a dark film or a weaker bulb?

Maybe a dark film would work if you can access the underside of the white letters. Tonight I'll try to mess with ambient lighting and gauge cluster lighting to see if it has any effect. If it's not something controllable like that I'll likely just live with it unless I get very bored. Thanks

Not dimmable by any cluster controls... they are ridic bright ...some LED's don't like being dimmed

you could add and inline potentiometer on each side but not sure if this would irritate the SAM/BCM
