Where the crap is the ILLUMINATE DOOR SILLS DIY???

rb23lb · 11-17-2008, 01:07 PM

All these threads, and it is VERY suprising nobody here has even installed the illuminated door sills on a w204...

Anybldy out there that did but just didn't post about it?

Been waiting for a DIY for months...

I know the guy that did the OEM c300/350 quad tips (non amg tip) DIY said he was going to do a door sill DIY and had already bought the parts... but that was the last i heard and it was months ago...

Anybody with any updates on sills or sill plans?

Is this a particularly difficult installation?

dont mean to be demanding at all...

but i just really want those door sills on that I ordered ... I was about to take it to the dealer, but they quoted 400 labor!!!

would like to try myself, but knowing me, I will break a plastic tab or something during removal and end up costing myself more $$$ anyway...

patiently waiting in the mean time...

rb23lb...

Yeah it’s me that has the door sills and have not installed them yet.

Sorry, but I just had my first child born 4 weeks ago and am getting used to NO SLEEP!

I have several projects to finish on my car with the parts just sitting in the garage (Door Sills, Fog Light HID, Roof Spoiler, LED light replacements, Etc…). So, trying to find time between feedings, work & home is far and few.

Here's a picture

I looked at the project and looks like a 4 hour install (which is inline with your quote of $100/hour labor x 4 hours = $400). Mid City says they do it in about 2.5 hours (they’ve done a few). The install looks relatively straight forward but time consuming because of all the paneling that has to be removed & replaced, Control unit install, and other small stuff.

I will make another DIY for that and the Fog light HID’s….. Soon but no promises.

Let me know if I can help? I have the factory ‘destructions’.

Hey Vader, is that the OEM kit from the dealership? Also do you know the part # for it? Can't wait to see the DIY and final look
