Question i have an older 2001 s class and think this would be cool for an older car, do they make the grill for older models with the logo in the middle like this?
Also when I do the wireing do I need to cut anything for the daylights wire that’s already on the car or just throw that connecter on there and that’s it?
They’re all over the internet, Amazon, eBay, etc. You don’t need to cut anything. Just place the wires in the splicer, crimp it and it will cut through and make the connection for you. Very easy.
@@meaghans4591 Your car seems to be like this one below: ua-cam.com/video/cNgjFWamEPk/v-deo.html and even in this video it should just twist off. Maybe it's stuck a bit or need a little more force (Not too much though or it'll break). But your car's star emblem definitely twist's off like this.
@@AlbanianFix 2012 the whole grill has to be removed 🙄my luck mine does not twist these after market parts are the worst the star to door sills not worth it 😞
I tried this on my 2014 CLS 550, including running the hot line to the DRL, but all the star light would do is flicker. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? Thanks.
Ah the infamous LED flickering. Looks like your car either doesn’t supply the right voltage to the LED or the current is not consistent enough because it’s not made for LED light systems. The only answer would be to get in touch with the LED seller or manufacturer and ask them if they have some sort of a Anti-flickering Adaptor like LED decoder or Load resistor that can cancel out the flickering. If they don’t have anything then I would look into other LED companies that make Stars for Mercedes which also support your car model.
Since the make of this video, it hasn't had any effect on other lights or power draw. The LED itself has gotten a bit dimmer but that's just the quality of the LED light over years. I might replace it again someday, especially now that the lines are run and the swap will be a breeze, will take me like 30 seconds literally.
Thanks for sharing this video! I have a GLB 250 2020. Is it the brown or the blue wire of the DRL that should be connected to the hot wire from the emblem?
hi great video i have a c400 2015 and installed thats same badge and now i get on dashboard a radoe dirty sensor that leed badge has a thick back and blocks the signal i guess
The best way to do it in my opinion is to fuse tap the headlight circuit on the hot side that way when the headlights come on at night so does the emblem. This method works too tho good video! 👍🏻

How did u get the drl wire to have so much slack? Mine has like 5” and i cant connect to wire to it. Too tight down there. Maybe ill go thru the wheel well
I’m not sure about the headlight but you can always use a volt meter, unplug the headlight harness and measure which wire becomes hot when you turn on the headlights.
@@AlbanianFix hey bro I’m trying to wire mine like he did his. I’m trying to have it turn on when my light come on at night. Just have to find the right wire
@@temper21st I wouldn't sweat it man. There's only two cables, so hook up to one of the cables, if it works great, if it doesn't, hook up to the other one. The cable tap/splicer can be undone and doesn't damage the cables.

If it doesn’t twist off like I’m showing it on the video then you probably have a clip-on star. If that’s the case, you’ll have to get on the backside of the star and unclip all of the tabs around the emblem. To get to the backside of the star, you’ll have to remove a few parts at the top of the grill or remove a few front bumper clips and screws (locate on each side of the front tires and underneath the carriage) just enough so you can slightly tilt the bumper forward for you to reach to the back of the star. Keep in mind that a clip-on star is not compatible with a twist-on star. You’ll have to find the right LED star that can also clip-on.
Simple explained instructions, however you left the live wire sticking out of the connection clip with a uninsulated end, this could easily contact any earth and blow the fuse, need to retract the wire slightly or insulate the wire!
Whoa 😳 😮 how did that happen??? Please share us your story as what wire you tried to hook it up to for others to read. Your story can help save people a lot of money.
So I attempted to hook mine up the same way as this video. However, I tried to tie it into the low beam headlight using the same type of clamps shown in the video. The European car mechanic I used explained that the star and the car lights are different voltages which caused the problem.
@@bigehauben827 Thanks! I had my GLE350 quoted a couple years ago for $1,000. I just brought my wife's GLA250 in for it's first service and asked again. Yup, still $1,000. I wanted to grab one of the Mercedes mechanics walking around and ask him if he'd like to throw it in for $100 on his lunch break or day off!
Hello I will try to do it through the headlights
Would I be able to use the splice connector to tapn into my headlight bulb wires?? Please get back at me thank you
Yes, you can do that as well. Some people prefer to have the star light turned on when the headlights turn on.
Anyway of wiring it without going into loom? Is there a point in the fuse box?
There definitely should be, I just wasn’t comfortable doing it that way.
Question i have an older 2001 s class and think this would be cool for an older car, do they make the grill for older models with the logo in the middle like this?
Hmm 🤔 really not sure about that year, would just have to lookup on the internet for some aftermarket parts.
Do you by chance have a link to the blue cap & circle metal ring for the ground ? Thank you 🙏
It's now in the description... thanks!
Where do I get the blue splicer

@@AlbanianFix Thank you very much. That's very helpful. Perhaps I should just buy the one you got!
Question: Does the star affect the power to the affected light and/ or draw too much power from the battery?

Is a 2015 ml 350 snap in with clip or can you twist it out?
I believe all of the newer ones are twists.
Can I do it to a 2012 Mercedes E350 coupe
Yeah you should e able to. First make sure you can twist off you emblem so this one can be twisted on.
Where can i get the splicer i cant find the exact one at autozone
You don’t need the exact one, just something similar that will do the same job. Try Advance Auto, Napa, O’Reilly, Home Depot or Lowes.

As long as you can take the star off by turning it counter clockwise just like in this video then yeah you’re good to go 👍

How did u get the drl wire to have so much slack? Mine has like 5” and i cant connect to wire to it. Too tight down there. Maybe ill go thru the wheel well
Honestly, it was a little bit of a pain down there, Barely any slack.
Would this work on a 2010 GL450? Also the link for the emblem is broken ☹️

Hello I have a ML350 2012. Is the installation same as 2013 or same as 2011 ?
It should be the same and you should be abke to remove the star by twisting it off just like shown in tbe video.
can i do this to a c43 amg coupe 2017?
asking because the c43 is one of the few that doesnt have alot of after market options available
As long as you can take the star off by turning it counter clockwise just like in this video then yeah you’re good to go 👍
Can I do this for a 2014 Model ?
Yes, as long as it spins.
Is it possible with the ml 350 2008
It’s not possible to easily twist it off like on this year model but you can find aftermarket parts to make it fit.
Does this work for a 2011 cls550
As long as you can twist it off as shown in the video then your golden.
If not, you can always jerry-rig something on yours.
