For those wondering, the rear plate light on these use 36mm festoon bulbs. It's a quick 1 minutes to swap the oem halogens for LED versions. Might not be for everyone, but just wanted to provide info. I think it gives it a cleaner look being pure white and the bulbs can serve as puddle lights when I go to access the stuff from the trunk. Bulb can be faced upwards and reflected back down for less brightness as well. The ones I got were from here: 6411/ 6413/ 6418/ C6W LED 36mm (5000K) - $20.00 : AZN Optics, Your SOURCE for Automotive LED and HID Lighting!
Very nice. I noticed the night I picked up my car that the light output back there looked a little off considering all the other exterior lights are bright and crisp on the car.
Quick question, did you used to have a white C300 and were you on mbworld?
You just need a small flat nosed screwdriver and access from outside. There's a small notch on one of the lens cap ends. Put the screwdriver there and push opposite direction, then down. It's held in place by a flexible metal clip so just needs to be flexed open and slides off. Really easy. Then just pop out the OEM bulb, place the LED in, and put the cap back on. Easy plug and play with no error codes that shouldn't take you more than a minute or two. Looks clean and crisp with the pure white light in the back. LED plate lights really should have been OEM... even newer MBs and Lexus have LED plate lights.

I didn't notice any issues. The camera wasn't really in the line of sight of the plate lights and facing away from the downward facing lights. I'll take pic of the screen of the backup camera with light on tonight when it gets dark.
Here's a pic of the reverse camera. As you can see, the part where the body of the vehicle is does look a bit brighter due to the light source, but doesn't affect the function or add glare to the camera. If anything, you can now see more clearly the area on the ground right behind the car with the extra illumination in case there's something in the way on the floor.
I have a 2015 and the nave screen cracked. Does anyone know the best way to replace other than going through the Dealer? I am willing to remove everything and do it myself if need be. Thanks
I used the Kenwood xr600-6dsp with idatalink Maestro integration. Using the factory speakers with a bit of calibration and this thing rocks! It was a pain in the a$$ due to the lack of pinouts anywhere, but my 2015 now sounds like it should have. I will try to make time for a small guide as...
Introduction - The Story
Longtime Ghibli owners know how bad the Bluetooth functionality of our UnConnect / Maserati Terrible Connection (MTC) is. On some days it would work normally, other days it would refuse to connect to any device. Repeated dealer visits and replacing the HFM module yielded...
So this has happened both times I go to a certain bar where alarm will go off I turn it off and 15 minutes later itll go off again. It will do it continuously until I leave. Last time cops were called but I was just figuring out it must be this bar. What you guys think?
Is there a source for a complete wiring diagram for the rear fuse panel? Am I missing something in the manual for the other fuse descriptions not under emergency?
Thanks in advance.
