lighting

Hi, Having recently replaced my auto-dimming rear view mirror for a auto-dim item with ambient lighting it got me thinking about possibly retro fitting the rest of package. But I,m not sure where the rest of the ambient lighting was on a 210, I,m sure i have read that the door exit handles...

The "glow-worm" that attempts to illuminate the storage compartment under the centre armrest in my CLS is seriously inadequate. Trying to see anything in there at night is nigh on impossible! I pulled the fitting out only to find it's some sort of LED or light guide. There is no bulb. Has...

My new 62 plate s204 is a little odd on the lighting setup. The 2012 revision has the LED daytime running lights on all models now. The LED daytime running lights only come on when lights are set to auto. But the annoying bit is the tolerance at which the car turns these off and turns the...

I'm toying with a daft idea that my garage needs an overhaul. It is a brick built pointy roof one but a little dust settles from the roof on to my car and i'm thinking that rather than the two light bulbs that are currently in the garage, I should have tubes to help me polish in the winter!!! I...

I have noticed that sometimes the passenger footwell is dimly lit while driving and at other times is pitch black. When the doors are open it is very brightly lit. Can someone please advise if it is it normal for the footwell to be pitch black while driving or not? My car is a 2012 C Class 125...

Hi all, This is my first post as only bought my vito today! It is a 53 plate with 88k on the clock. Drove it back 100 miles from seller this evening and stopped at a friends house on way back. After having a chat for a few mins, I went to restart the Vito and it just turned over and wouldn't...

Apologies for raising an Olympic thread, but who do we think will be lighting the flame at the opening ceremony? My own personal choice would be Her Majesty given that it's Jubilee year and all that. Over to you folks......

Hello, I own a s210 320 cdi and i installed on it all the interior light with leds, but I have a problem with the mirror light, they don´t turn on. Any idea? Maybe a fuse?

Can a single gang light switch have two live feeds connected, so two separately fed lights can be switched as one? Scenario - A run of under-cupboard lights down one wall, light switch is on the opposite wall. New run of lights to be fitted on the same wall as the switch. Connecting new...

The mileage display on my A170 still works OK but the orange illumination has failed and its almost imposible to see. Does anyone know if this is an intregated unit or can it be just a bulb ?:

I had a look (laying on the floor looking up!) - and the ambient lighting strips seem to be fitted into the wooden door trims. Does anyone know if these are, or could be connected to work as an after fitment. It did not come with ambient lighting. Thanks.

Hi, I have intermittent lighting on the RHS of my heater controls: (2 x thumbwheel, 2 x circular dial type with heated rear window/EC/recirculate buttons in the middle) I have searched the archives and found posts relating to changing bulbs but none regarding my issue. It looks like there...

:wallbash: Does anyone know how to fix the ambient lighting from the rear view mirror, mine stopped working.

After not being driven since the end of Nov, I took my fathers '01 C200 K up to Heathrow this afternoon to give it a run and pick him up. The car started fine, and I had no problems until I noticed the radio display,hazard ligh button and heater controls had all gone really dimly lit. The main...

Went out last night in my '94 w124 e300d and the instrument binnacle and auto trans. lever surround lighting failed to come on. I've checked the fuse box and all fuses are intact (fuse no.3 appears to be the one in question, also responsable for the rear number plate which remains lit)...

Just thought I'd make comment on how darn useful this feature is. My daily commute home at this time of year is in the dark and consists of approximately 20 miles on fast, unlit, country A- and B-roads. When I had my W204, even though I'd never driven a car fitted with the Intelligent...

I am thinking of this for my next mod to finish the cabin after the chrome work went in over the weekend. Miss the ambient lighting of some of my previous cars. Will this work for the CLK - I think it should but just thought i'd see if anyone has currently doen this as yet? "I have only...

2nd lighting thread from me tonight! TIA. My extension is coming on albeit at a slow pace :( . I have a large family room and I kindof want to do "something" with the ceiling as it's such a big space. Enclosed is a crappy diagram I knocked together. I'm thinking like mood lighting or...

Two lighting threads tonight ! I am in the middle of a floodlit winter training trial down at the kids footie. We bought a couple of 6kva generators and four semi commercial 5m tripods, each 110volt with 4 x 500w halogen floodlights. All is well except we are going through bulbs quicker than...
