I think i'm gonna change the indiglo to a standard (yellow/white) colored light once i get them. I had an ML320(SUV)last year and Mercedes has illuminated doorsills available for all of their vehicles, and they look FRESH! They're not indiglow though. I'm gonna mess with my sills when i get them, and try to turn the light from blue.. to yellow.

The AE sills are really nice. But the Indiglo ones aren't too bad. They are really clean looking, with the chrome and lettering. From what people have said, they fit well, aren't that expensive, and from pics, they look pretty good. I would be willing to consider both options.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=1847622129 that's the Mercedes blue colored door sills. The door sills that were offered when I had my ML320 were yellowish/white. Not blue. But you guys have to admit, that blue looks Phat! Now i'm thinking about changing the color from Indiglo greenish blue, to more of a blue color that would match the gauges on my SE. What do you guys think?

Indiglo may look alright, but I wouldn't do it.
My worries are that if I ever had an electrical problem with the interior the service department would bust my ***** over it. They would try to blame anything on me (and the lights) as humanly possible.
I've read other threads about people having difficult times with warranty repair work over things like this. Maybe when I am out of warranty I would start to hack into the electrical system, but not now.
Just my opinion....

good point - the illuminated sills would look better with 2k-2k1 SE's, since their gauges have the blue color...

did I say those SE's had BLUE gauges? no
However, I did say that the gauges had some blue color. there's a difference in those 2 statements. I was just saying the illuminated sills would go better with those SE's b/c of the partial blue in the gauges compared to putting it on a 2k2 where there is no "blue" at all

I just got them installed
Hey y'all,
I was soo frustrated with the install instructions with the illuminated door sills that i decided to just go have them installed. They look TIGHT!! The installer made them sooo clean. he made all the wiring go thru the wiring bundle between the door and the body of the car, it's a perfect install, better than i've seen on here. I only had to pay labor.. (which is kinda expensive) it's 50 bucks/ hour but it only takes the guy 45 minutes. If any of you are in the Atlanta area and looking for a good place to get your illuminated sills installed, go to Gene C. Truck and Auto Accessories in Morrow (right next to Southlake Mall). Their number is 770-968-4273. see you guys later
