Downlights

[Brabus benz]

Hi all I have a s500 and it has downlights in the sills I would like to change them for a different colour but can't seem to find Identical replacements can anyone help .

 

[alexanderfoti]

They are brabus OEM lights, you will need to contact them to see if they make other colours, or, attempt to make your own.

It would be really easy to replace the white LEDs, with whatever colour you like, without paying silly prices, particularly Brabus ones

 

[Brabus benz]

Thanks iv been in contact with brabus and will get a price for 5 white ome I will be sitting down when I take the call .
They only do white so I will be looking else where for blue any good suggestions need to be about the size of a 10p coin .

It would really depends on the original mount, whether there's a certain pattern to the light, etc, etc.

There are thousands of LEDs (and SMD and COB variety) out there that would, most likely be suitable.

If you can unplug the actual light and take a few pics, it'll be easier to narrow down potential replacement types.

I don't believe it iv fitted 4 shadow lights to my doors and they all worked fine I think for a day .now they don't but also the red door lights don't work and the leds in the sills don't work .from what iv read the fuse for them is the same for the windows and they work fine .iv check all fuses apart from the ones in the trunk as they are a bugger to get to because iv got the fridge .
Also iv read with the shadow lights being fitted something about the relay bypass the ground or add another ground wire but I'm not to sure . Can you help
I was about to start work on the leds in the sills but found this problem now

Illuminated door sills and door courtesy lights are actuated in the same way / pattern on my car: ON when the door is open, then goes OFF after 5 minutes. This is done by the main SAM, so if both aren't working correctly, and the fuse is fine, the problem could be with the SAM, perhaps?

 

[Brabus benz]

And the Sam needs what to reboot star program or can the Sam be unplaged and plugged back in maybe reboot and where is the sam modern cars grrr

 

[ZZZZ]

I'd imagine that, it could be done on STAR, unless it's a damaged wire going into / coming from the SAM, or something of that nature.

Wow that makes a statement when you arrive

 

[alexanderfoti]

Well done, glad its the pump and not the bladders!

Certainly does! Not for me I’m afraid

The departure growl afforded by an AMG 63 engine, kinda eclipses bling everyday

 

[Brabus benz]

I do agree but a 6.1 brabus also sound pretty good

No way of unplugging them wires are to short but iv got some pics .
Can't find a maker or part number on the lights .
If you do come across something similar in blue that would be great I will carry on looking .
Cheers bud

Never seen that particular mount, so I would just fit a waterproof plug to the wires, take the light home, replace the LEDs with whatever you like, fit a waterproof socket, take them back, plug in, job done

I have to say though, a combination of OE Brabus downlights and aftermarket Mercedes puddle lights, seems a bit too "illuminated"

Maybe it'll look more balanced with blue downlights ... I suppose it's a very big car, so might be okay ...

I do understand but I think it's just on the tip of balance but I think blue lights might just take it down a little maybe
But haha just started polishing my wheels haha more bling but maybe the brabus dust cap push it over the edge

That's a lovely wheel
