Just followed the video guide this afternoon on my 2013 C Coupe UK spec, worked a treat, both lights work, turn on when door opens, turn off when door closed. Took 15 mins each side, using the right tools and taking my time and being careful. Excellent guide ! Thanks Flexx
Thank you very much for this video! I will now be able to install lights on my W204 C180 coupe. I love how you installed the wire without removing the door panel too, that was awesome!
Thankfully mine was already wired, super easy plug and play for me, these bad boys look great! Thanks brotha
Flex, great video, just installed the lights on Mercedes C350, 2012. Man, I'm so glad you take the time to put out these videos. Cheers!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just fitted my lights - thank you very much for the help provided in this video it was invaluable
Nice! Thank you Flexx, I've been waiting for this too.
I’ve been waiting for something like this! Thank you!!
Spot on instructions for a C250 Coupe, cheers Flexx
Another great one bro. Keep it up! 🙌🙌🙌
I have the same issue and I am going to do this to mine as well. Huge thumbs up and thanks for taking the time to put both vids together. Car looks sweet too bro, Great job!
Damn, you finally did it man, already had the wires in the door so it was plug and play
great work on your videos!! Regards from Norway
I'm thankful you posted this, I really wanted these on my GLK but had just fake covers on mine. Wired identically and they work great.
With this wiring steps? How does it manage not to be turned on all the time?
@@flavioguzman1245 ..... I'm in the process of installing the LED door sill lights on my X204. I'm trying to locate the ground wire to connect to that turns it off when the interior and door lights dim vs. being on all the time!
what year is yours?
Finally yes!!!!!! Huge help this video will for sure go viral !
I don't know about that. I'm starting to think alot of people's cars came with the wires and only a select bunch (including myself) are having this issue...hahahahah.
Regardless, I have my door lights and I'm happy! Downside...my wife installed some door lights on her c300 and they look soooooooooooooooooooooooo much better. Clean and crisp lines and super brighter then mine :(
Flexx Alexander where did she order hers?
First comment! Been following you for a while now I have a W204 C250 2013 all your videos have helped me tremendously! Thanks Alex.
Hahahhaa..thanks for subscribing and helping to support my channel I appreciate it and hope to keep bringing you and everyone else great content!
This worked for me. 2012 C250 coupe.
The passenger side door is positive (red with gray stripe) and the negative is the (brown with pink strip). The light goes off when you shut the door, I tested it multiple times and you can see red part of the light when the door is shut, so you can tell it is off. Thanks for the help man. My daughter is really happy with her 2012 C250 now. Next is the illuminated front star.
Saw you on the highway yesterday lol 😂 sick video
Nice work
Tks for video sharing. In my 2012 C250 did not work properly because lamp stays on connecting as described. Do you have the circuit diagram of the box to check ? Tks !
Hi.You are great.Do you know if there is the same wiring for w204 sedan?Thank you
Already done this, luckily I had wires already in my merc. Good vid, flex it’s Shahan from insta
Lucky! I wish I had the wire. It would make things so much easier. Lol
Flex I have a 2012 C350 Coupe and mines didn't come with the wiring for the lights either, I followed your instruction on how to wire and I was able to get the driver side to work but I wasn't able to get the passenger side to light up. Per your instruction on the passenger side I connected to the Red/Grey wire on the white connector and on the green connector I connected to the brown/pink. Did I not connect to the correct wire on the green connector. Please help !!!!! Thanks, Rodney
Thanks!!! From Brazil
Obrigado!!!
Great vid man. I owned a 2013 c300(w204) which had the wires and it took less than 10 mins to swap out all 4 reflectors. I just bought a 2015 GLK350 (x204) and no damm wires. If I get the fronts done then the fun really begins to figure out the rears. But this video have me pumped to try the front.
Yup, installing them on my wife’s car took 2 seconds. Sucks mine didn’t come with them but this wiring wasn’t too bad.
Have you tried to hookup the light on your 2015 GLK350? If you had it done, would you share which wires you tapped into? Thanks!
@@TheFlexxGarage Where you live ? I wish I can I bring my car to do the wiring & 4 reflectors. I have a 2018 GLE 350 with no wiring.
Do you know if there would be similar wires for power in the W203 that does not have door courtesy lights?
Hi flexx! Big fan of Ur channel. If U can show us which 2 wires (from the rear door unit) to tap the rear door light to will be appreciated. U show us the front doors n that's really cool but if we want to install the rear which wires to connect to for positive n negative wire.
thank you flexx great video
Hi, have a GLK 350 X204 can i tap my door lights wires the same way you did on your coupe ? Thanx 👍
your a legend 😁😁😁😁😁😁
Luckily my C250 coupé has the lights in the door so it's just a plug and play, getting friends to bring the LED interior kit and these when they come to visit SA in December. Can't wait to fit them :-)
Nice!
I have a 2018 C350e plug in hybrid, I tried this install, I could not get a 12v readout for any two terminals on the control module.The best I got was a continuity beep,
Please help, how do I get this back door light powered up. Thanks in advance
Does you know how to connect the wires in the Mercedes CLA? It does not have that painel in the door where you connected your wires in the C Class. Thank you
@TheFlexxGarage, amazing video…thank you. I successfully installed the lights from DMP car design on my 2012 W204, C350. They look awesome! Only issue is that the lights go on and off periodically when the door is closed and the ignition is off? While driving not an issue, but when the car is parked, doors locked, ignition off, they seem come on and off.
You just installed the light…or you wired your car like in this video and then installed the light? Not sure what you did since you’re commenting on my video about wiring up door lights on a car that didn’t come with wires.
Hello mate can you do video for auto folding mirror for c class factory fitted mirror work with internal switch but not with keyfob so if you know or if you do the video for your viewers, please
Can u send me a link to the wire that plugs in to the light please 👍
Gracias, my friend
Can I get these for my 59 plate c180 kompressor?
OEM Parts:Cable Harness - Mercedes-Benz (000-540-45-05) Has both male and female end. Female needed to plug into the courtesy light.Clutch - Mercedes-Benz (024-545-97-26) connector.
I don't see a link for the actual light lens that you purchased that shines the logo. Can you post it?
Are there any projector for the light on the trunk?
Olá no W176 é igual a esse. Montei no meu com base nesse esquema. Obrigado
Quero fazer tb. Mas desse modo as luzes ficarão sempre acesas?
Is there a video I can refer to w205?
Hello i hef mercedes c classe w 205 2017 ent i hef tesame licht i put the conection in but it gif mi en litel licht not the logo ent it make litle noise bip bip bip bip .... bisar ?????? Sorry for my englich
lol finally. I remember when you found out the doors had no wire running for the lights 🤣
Yup....I had to get through the winter first and now finally did it. I love the lights. Lol.
Hello Flexx, any idea where the power supply cables would be on the w205 that would help me alot
Trying to figure out the same have you found out yet?
the same
Flexx! My w205 has no wiring on back doors do you know which wires I should plug into!
The same, please answer ;)
I just made the same to my cla. The positive wires are black-orange and the negative are brown-black. The position of them is as the video above.
Do you have a picture or a diagram?
Hi, i have encountered the same problem, i had order shadow lights but my door doesnt have wires, so i followed your instructions, after the connection made the light started working, but a beep sound started coming from small window speaker, which was very irritating,
I checked again the wiring and all it was from the black box like you did with positive and negative which made light work but i couldnt figure out about the sound, ? Eventually i had to put out the light, any solution? Mine is ML350 2015
Hi, did you fix the issue?
Flexx how to know witch one are the door latch wires in the Mercedes CLA?
I just made the same to my cla. The positive wires are black-orange and the negative are brown-black. The position of them is as the video above.
Flexx how come u have to wire it i baught ones and they hooked up to the regular wires is there a reason u couldnt plug yours in ?
THis is why. ua-cam.com/video/9Afdud51BoU/v-deo.html
Same issue with my ML350 no light, I'm hoping when I show this video to my mechanic he will be able to do the same thing for my car
nice
Hello Flexx, I have a C180. Also the lights are not connected. If I do so, will it work like into the video?
Yes.
Much respect brother!! I been waiting for you to do this since that last video. You are legend!! Can you give me some more info on that 'wiring kit' from Mercedes (at 0.36)? Perhaps a link, approx. price??? Thank you.
0:36
Alexander I want to ask you my sister have 2012 GLK are also "no " Lamp on the door too but the problem is their doors red cover shape are different to your C class so any idea ?? If I want to hrlp help her wire the lamp ? Thank you
Sorry. Can’t help much. I’ve seen some GLK owners attempt to follow my video to wire their cars only to realize the new door lights they wired up won’t shut off. That’s because the wiring is different then my car.
ua-cam.com/video/chcCTdoAaNY/v-deo.html
what is the connector piece called? i cant find it on ebay. or can you send a link of the piece? thank you much. love your videos!
T-Taps size 16-14 gauge
hello flexx, i did everything like in the movie. C250 2011. After closing the door, the lights go out but then they turn on and off a few times, but at the end they are on all the time, help ...
I also have the same problem, were you able to solve it??
Yes, me too! Is this normal?
Hey Flexx. Great video clip mate. When you picked up the positive power cable is it a switched power line so that the lights only come on when the door is opened, or do you think they may be on all the time?
I wouldn’t wire it to stay on all the time. When the door shuts, it’s off. When the door is open, it’s on for a bit until the car shuts it off automatically.
@@TheFlexxGarage magic, thank you. I've ordered the parts and am looking forward to fitting my 'puddle' lights (UK term) :))
@@colinstirlingjones1063 , Hi Colin how did you get on with your install mate ? any problems . I have C180 2014 , Cheers Phill
Fron spain gracias
Flexx you forgot to let us know the color codes for the passenger side .Please let us know .Thank you much
Aren't there plug n play versions of the puddle lights?
Yes. That’s why I mentioned in my videos only some c-classes already come with door lights and mine didn’t. I want to say most 4 door sedans have them and for the coupes, only if you have the high end lighting package for your car. My car got shafted.
I have a GLK350 and everything works perfect except for when you shut the door the lights don’t turn off. Does anyone know the solution to this?
You’re wires probably aren’t the same as a c-class. One wire on my car is for power. The other wire is for the door latch. So when it senses the door latch closed, the light shuts off.
Flexx Alexander Yeah, you’re defiantly right. The issue is my GLK has the same wires as the C-Class in the video so I’m not sure how to reconfigure it. Any advice?
@@evanwetmore423 Yeah, now that I hear this I'm not sure if I should do it to my GLK or not. Bought the perfect lights and I find fake reflectors.
Have you guys found the right wires? I have a 2013 glk 350 I'd love to add these to but dont want to go splicing the wrong wires.
I'm going to try this in my ML350, I have the same issue, no wires, not a courtesy light, a red reflector.
I have GLE 350. Did u have any luck?
I did, I was able to installed them, but not following any video found in UA-cam, I had to find a different way. I connected them to the courtesy LED light under the side view mirrors. I would probably post it on UA-cam.
Hi, i have encountered the same problem, i had order shadow lights but my door doesnt have wires, so i followed your instructions, after the connection made the light started working, but a beep sound started coming from small window speaker, which was very irritating,

@@bvautot1970 hello, can you please explain to me how you did this, I, also have ml350.
@@muthanaalrawi4140 any luck? Did you find a video link?
Hello its same process for the back seet ? Please
I recently added wires for the backdoor for my 2018 GLC 300 in the similar process. The wire colors were different (thick Red- positive & thin Blue-neg). What I recommend is getting a voltmeter and check the voltages on the wires before tapping them. I checked to make sure it 12V when the door is opened, and the voltage drop down when the door is closed. Took a while to find out which wire assoc with the door latch, but it is definitely worth it.

I have a 2018 C350e plug in hybrid, I tried this install, I could not get a 12v readout for any two terminals on the control module.The best I got was a continuity beep,
Please help, how do I get this back door light powered up. Thanks in advance
Is this wiring the same for a c180 coupe I have the same problem.
Not sure. We don’t have c180 cars in my country. So I don’t know.
Done it today after I rang Mercedes and got a quote for £360 but followed your guide to the letter and it’s perfect on when door open off when it’s closed thank you
I bought me 2 sets of those for front and rear..i only put in the fronts and never got around to putting in rear ones..they looked good for a year or so..but now they look brownish..the blue wore off it seems....others on amazon have said the same thing in the reviews. The only other thing I don't care about these, they not as red looking as the originals when you look at them from a distance when you open the door..bit towards the muddled red..like a burnt orange maybe is the color for them. Anyway..time to install the extra set.. Anyone have this happen to them...going to a brown color and no blue color? I have the ones with the laurel MB emblem.
Do you know what the wires go to? Door latch wires?
yes, it's the latch
Aren't they now illuminated all the time??
I had the same thought @flex
Do the door lights go off when the door is closed or are they permanently on even when door is closed? Thanks
When I did this, they went off when I closed the door.
Thabkyou 👍
@@TheFlexxGarage what was it you tapped into power for? I don't think my door control module has that many plugs into it
Nice work, I wish you have a w205. I could use the help, my back door is the same way, no wire for the light 🙄. For a luxury brand that’s unacceptable 🤦🏻♂️.
Did you resolve?
Any Solution, please?

Does the light turn off when you close the door?
For my car it does. Shuts off when door is closed.
I heard some GLK owners trying to do the same thing but their lights stay on all the time. Not sure why they are trying to copy my method when my car is clearly a w204 c-class.
@@TheFlexxGarage okay its weird. The light is on all the time on my s204. Should be the same right? Used the same wires as you?!?
I mean also when the car is turned of?
I installed these in my car & wired them the same way & when I close the door they go off then come back on there there a way to fix this
Did u find a solution
Hola
What are the materials needed for this.
I think I have all the details in the video description
Hey Flex please answer me bro
Dam! You making spend more money!
