I recently purchased the Mercedes Benz LED star and at first it looked difficult but after watching your YOU TUBE video it wasn’t difficult at very easy and everything was just as you said very good instructions and easy to follow

Worked great on my 2015 C300! Connected red to red/white wire and black to brown (ground). Light stays on as long as daylight running lights are on. Thanks!!

Does the brightness of the star change during the day or night? The DRL brightness changes so I'm curious to if the star's brightness changes too.

AfzaMoto, thanks for this video. I followed it and it has worked on my 09 C200K. However I do not have DRL, so I wired it to the fog lights below in the same spot, and when I unlock the car the star lights up. And I can also turn the star on and off, just as I can with the foglights. It's really addictive modifying the MB, can't stop! Thanks for your video, great to follow and a very nice look to the car in the evenings! Cheers!!!

I could only get them to come on with the engine running and never really noticed before. But thanks. The 2013 is not the screw out type and we needed to know to remove the grill to get it out.

When I purchased my 2015 E 350 4matic a few weeks ago, I worked the illuminated led star in the deal. They had my car for several days thinking they had the wrong harness to hook it up but they discovered the had the correct one. I believe they haven't installed too many of these lights... My question is... My light does not illuminate very bright (you can barley tell that it is on). It there a way that I can adjust the illumination of the lights from behind the star? Thank you in advance for your wonderful youtube installation and I look forward to hearing from you.

@JRene-7800 7 жыл бұрын

I had the illuminated star installed on my 2010 C300 yesterday, and the only time it will work is when I use the fog light (the one that shines brightly in the rear...I actually have to pull out the car light knob to activate the star) . I don't want the emblem illuminated with my daytime running lights, but when I drive at night with the regular lights, I want the star illuminated. What do I need to do to accomplish this? What do I need to ensure it's wired to?

last year i wired some daylight lights to my sidelights myself and car has been fine - today i decided to fit one of these badge type on the grille - it works with my headlights but i noticed my glow coil is coming on while diving then dissappears also the engine management light is permenantly on. so i dissconnected this grille light but still same errors - so i had to get the codes cleared and car is fine now.

09 C300. I wired in to right/passenger side headlight as there is more room. Strip away some of the protective covering. Black to brown wire. Red to smaller gray/red wire. It lights up when you first press the key fob on entry and when headlights come on at night. My car has fog lights and not the day time runners.

@digitalsaint2040 6 жыл бұрын

this is a incorrect installation. you use the LED driver located on the passenger side firewall, it has two open wago like connectors, just strip and push in to install. this method puts I'm proper load on your leds, by splitting the mili/amps incorrectly. this is on the 2018's I'm not sure about 16,17's

@lexbrettgen2120 6 жыл бұрын

Why can't you just run a fuse tap to the ignition fuse box to power the LED star? Your star would then come on when the ignition is on and would avoid any wire splicing or messing with vehicle lighting.

@afzamoto5325 8 жыл бұрын

+Abdullah Gondal, wiring configuration can be with the daytime running light, or any other light that can provide 12 volts, such has parking light etc. Its a low amp light so you don't need too much amps. It can also be connected in the fuse box. It also depends on the light you will be purchasing. In any case here is what i recommend. 1. Figure out how to install the star by removing your existing emblem, hopefully its the twist kind and you won't have to take the grille out. If not procedure might be same as mine. Try it and let me know. 2. Figure out if you want to connect it with a light, such as daytime running light or parking light or any other, assuming that you have a two wire connection like mine, if so, double check if you can easily access and connect the wires. 3. If you plan on connecting in the fuse box, then configuration will be different. check out the below video link it shows the fuse connection kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q9yEns92m969nIU.html I think you can do it! please let me know if you need any help. Thanks and good luck

I just used T-taps on my side parking lights. Why bother stripping wires when you don't need to. Also, why connect to DRL's? Makes no sense when they dim when lights come on. Connecting to parking lights has them on at full/normal brightness anytime the lights come on. Don't make things more difficult then they need to.
