Thank you! I tried searching everywhere for a tutorial on this model
Great job! Very clean install, thanks for sharing.
Yea thank you. Your post of all that I searched for provided great info. I’m currently trying to replace my glc300 2020 LED star emblem. First step is to gently slide and pry the original emblem out. Wish me luck!
How did it go? Can you post some pics or perhaps video of it? Want to do the same for my ride..
Did it work ? No one seems to be able to wire my glc 300 Coupe without cutting my wires
Nice job...I'd like to change my grill to the Pan-Americana (AMG) grill...any advise?
Very thorough. Thank you
Thanks for sharing, much appreciated!
Mercedes told me our GLE could have the illuminated badge installed so I ordered. However I noticed today there’s a harness plugged into or near the back of the current badge. Did yours have that also. No video’s actually show the back of the oem badge. Tia
Can you guide me how to remove the star logo on the front of the car first.mercedes GLC 300 suv
. I do have one red and black wire. Which one connect to the ground and for the fuse.
Will this work on a 2022 GLE?
Will this work on an A Class A200?
thanks you very helpful for me>
Where did you find this part for 2020 GLE350? I see plenty sold on ebay for 50-100$ are they any good?
What about a GLA 250 2023
Does it works for french model?
Hi were are you located?
Had planned to do this to my 2021 GLS. MB mechanic said it was not possible due to the vehicle’s augmented reality option. So be it.
Thanks Ben
I presume that's a module that occupies the star badge location.
I have on my GL350 options sheet "U19 Augmented Video for Navigation - $300" is that the option that means it's not possible John?
The only thing that prevents the illuminated star from being installed is if your MB comes equipped with Driver’s Assistance
@@iRenzo Just checking here...........my 2020 GLS450 has the two following options: #243 Active Lane Keeping Assist, and #U19 MBUX Augmented Video For Navigation. Will either of those not work if I install an aftermarket illuminated star? Thank you!
@@rwb728 As far as I am aware, it becomes unavailable if you have the Driver's Assist package... Or Distronic.
I would assume not, because of the active sensors for options 243 and the camera's for U19.
I could be wrong and it might need some altering with the wires.
question when you buy the strip light does the tap fuse connect output come with it? if not then where did you buy the tap few connect ? please. thanks
I was thinking about doing this, but can't find the right star for a 2022 GLC.
Just installed mine for $60.00 on a 2021 GLE. Works great
Link for this ?
Hi did your GLE have a radar sensor behind the factory star? My 2021 GLE 350 has the radar sensor behind the factory star. I ordered the parts as described but the illuminated star would not fit with the radar sensor installed. Thx
Are you referring to distronic. Can you please share the link to the star you bought ? I have the radar unit too. You might need a flat star with the star embedded inside the circle for your model. It needs to be removed from inside the grill.
No, radar is incompatible with the illuminated star.
Exactly, if your GLE is equipped with distronic, lane keeping, etc., the illuminated star isn't compatible with your GLE. It's a pity that the illuminated star is only suitable for entry level GLEs.
Hi i have a question does this throw any errors with active brake assist
No errors, but not compatible with the systems that have a radar unit behind the star.
question so every time you start the car the light go on. at all times , as you connect to the fuse box is it safe ? it wouldn't short out ,
Is there anyway you can share the link? I have a 2020 GLE 4Matic and I want to install the illuminated star.
I bought my star on eBay. Item no: 125353374188. Took me less than 1 hour to install following this videos instructions. Looks great.
Be aware. The kit has a connector on it. The fuse tap is not necessary. A white connector under the fuse panel comes out. A single wire on one side and two wires on the other. Plug the harness terminal into the connector in between the two wires and install the fuse.
Note: this terminal is active with the engine running. It does Not come on with the park lights only.
Is this the same for glc 300 2020?
Can you be more specific about this. What kit are you speaking of? I bought the OEM harness A166-820-60-00 and it came with a fuse holder, fuse and harness with ground lug and a crimped on female for the fuse on the hot wire.
This white connector you speak of, to get to it do I need to open the fuse box and use the two clips to lift up the fuse panel as shown in the video? Is “plugging the harness terminal into the connector between the two wires” something this was meant for or is it a “bush-fix”?
Post a video if you want to help. "There's a better way" is unhelpful.
How long does this take total?
I spent a couple hours.
How about on a 2020 model?
This is a 2020 as the title indicates.
I installed it on my wife’s 2020 GLE today. Looks great
I got the parts from mbpartsstore.com, who was very nice to work with and seemed to have the best prices.
How much was it ?
