Illuminated Side Molding Trim Set for Luxury Off-Road Vehicles
Enhance the side profile and visual presence of your vehicle with the custom illuminated side molding trim set by Kubay Design. Specifically engineered for W463A and W465 chassis platforms spanning model years 2018 through 2025, this 10-piece exterior upgrade replaces factory trim strips with integrated LED lighting modules to deliver an exclusive accent along both door lines.
Standard side rub strips serve a protective purpose, but upgrading to illuminated molding strips transforms your vehicle’s silhouette at night. Designed to complement high-end exterior builds, including AMG, G63, G800, and G900 styling packages, this complete kit offers:
- Integrated LED lighting modules for an exclusive visual effect.
- Durable ABS composite construction with OEM-grade surface finishing.
- Plug-and-play wiring harness for straightforward electrical connection.
- Weather-resistant and fade-resistant materials for long-lasting durability.
Crafted to fit directly into factory mounting channels, these illuminated moldings integrate smoothly alongside original body panels without altering vehicle proportions. Discover complementary body components in our Shop or explore finished custom builds in Our Projects.
Durable ABS Construction & Integrated LED Technology
Creating high-end exterior lighting accessories requires balancing rugged weather protection with flawless optical clarity. The Kubay Design engineering team selected high-density ABS plastic and UV-stabilized light lenses to ensure resistance against road debris, stone chips, and severe weather exposure.
Key Functional Features
Exterior styling upgrades demand reliable physical durability and clean electrical integration, which our side molding set delivers through specialized manufacturing standards:
- Weatherproof sealing: engineered with internal gaskets to seal LED modules against water ingress, dust, and car wash jets.
- Plug-and-play harness: supplied with a pre-wired harness designed for clean integration into existing vehicle lighting circuits.
- Factory-style profile: matches original body contours and door panel gaps to maintain a cohesive appearance.
Generational Compatibility & Fitment Notes (W463A vs W465)
While this 10-piece illuminated molding kit is engineered for modern platforms produced between 2018 and 2025, confirming your chassis generation and door panel length before purchasing your LED side rub strip upgrade set is essential:
- W463A platform (2018–2024): aligns perfectly with door panel lengths, front fender inserts, and rear quarter panel trim channels.
- W465 platform (2025+): engineered to fit updated body panels and revised electrical harness routing.
Fitment verification note: classic chassis models (W463 produced from 1990 to 2017) feature shorter door dimensions and different rub strip mounting clips. This kit is incompatible with pre-2018 platforms. Please verify your exact chassis generation, model year, and VIN before ordering.
