What if you want it always on? Not when the brakes are applied.
@TheFlexxGarage4 жыл бұрын
then wire it up to your brake light that turns on when the car is on. I don't recommended it because "third brake lights" in most stays aren't support to stay on all the time. The lighted star is essentially a third brake light based on it's location.

Hey flex i installed in my 04e320 works perfect when i hit brake. It is a little cheaply made so i was going to rap edgeds in vinal and when that done. I was going to over lay hole emblem with vinal tint to protect it because silver on star will start to chip off. What do you think?
@TheFlexxGarage Жыл бұрын
Yeah, I really wish it wasn’t flat and instead curved with the body of the trunk so it’s flush. Def protect it if you want it to last. I honestly don’t remember how long I had it on my car.

@Jnewtonwright Жыл бұрын
@@TheFlexxGarage it wasn't curved but it it seemed to have double sided tape that was pretty padded and looks pretty good. But I did cover the holes with tape like you recommended to prevent water leakage. I think I'm going to run some vinyl around the edges like you did just as a bit of extra protection.

Looks great - did you just “eye” it? It looks perfectly centered. I think I’ll mess it up , get it on off center and be stuck cos it’s glue! My E550 comes to a point in front and tail which makes the front plate either have a huge gap or bend; the tail star gap is so bad it just snapped when I put my car cover on. This looks like a good solution. Thank you.

It doesn’t take a lot to power up so either wires are crossed, wires to star isn’t providing power, or the star is dead. I would use a 9V battery to test the star. Run the positive and negative wires to the 9V battery terminals and if the star works, it should light up. You can buy a 9volt battery at any store. (The square looking battery).
