Should've done the back doors and really tied it all together

[@Natethegreat200c]

Buy it for him.

[@walikh9160]

Hope he posts an update video of some sort doing the back doors. It would help out so much

[@Dime_Bar]

The back doors are all ways a lot of work, so much so I felt like smashing the back doors in

[@HalfManHalfTech]

The best statement from you ever: happy wife happy life !

[@TheFlexxGarage]

Yup. You got that right.

[@b-a-rron5563]

This is the first video I find where it actually shows how to tap into the power source and explains the wires very well. Thanks man

[@jacobgarza8706]

I need help with tapping into the power also

[@jtkornichuk1034]

Dude, the little details you thought of and the solutions you came up with tells me you're a genius, and that this isn't your first rodeo. I would have never thought that this could be something easy and you made it look so simple and clean.

[@Scrap3001]

Should have used TTap connectors instead of cutting your wires

[@kaydroharrison1564]

You are the man flexx. Will be doing this one to. So far completed 3 upgrades you posted. All are perfect.

[@TheFlexxGarage]

😎🤙🏼

[@Adam1llion]

That looks really good! But a lot of work lol you did a good job on this bro!

[@julesgrill2490]

Kudos! Very well spoken, and explained thoroughly (with crazy attn. to every detail/aspect), this makes for super easy comprehension. You should be the guy who makes videos for the: "........ For Dummies" series LOL! 👍

[@TheFlexxGarage]

Thanks. I take alot of pride in my content and making sure I cut out the fluff and give the viewers what they want.

[@heatjrb]

Are you able to do a video on the quality of these mods after a couple months of using them so we see if there are any problems with them after using it for some time?

[@mc-p303king6]

Yes that would be good frfr

[@blockobutter]

For cool gimmicks like these, there's often few videos on it, and whatever is there is low quality videos. Thank you for making a high quality video on this; it's a hard find.

[@TheFlexxGarage]

I do what I can to show people exactly what they are buying. No BS or fluff in my videos.

[@drerey4675]

I wish genesis had something like this, I think it’d bring that car up to another level of luxury

[@moonmc1047]

This can b done in genesis

[@clydew2357]

Dre, check out the 2021 G80, it has a very similar ambient light option.

[@ultimatemanny]

Love the video but I feel like is too much work hahaha 😅

[@Mrofficer2u]

All you got to do now is show the door sill led install and my whole car be complete thanks to your vids

[@paulyg47]

Great video Flexx always hooking us up with awesome mods. Keep up the videos!!

[@Mrofficer2u]

Thanks flexx you have single handedly help me hook my car up

[@mohammadvadiee5647]

Same here

[@jayjaylucky6792]

Thanks bro , anyways Canadian Tire will Install it I have appointment on Monday they said it takes Couple of hours probably I will spend around 200 to 300 plus tax Ambient lighting amazing

[@marknabil9243]

hiii, please let me know how it goes

[@computerapple4]

Nice. It did better than the last one lol. Should give us an update later on too. So we can see the longevity of them.

[@TheFlexxGarage]

Will do. I’ll give it like 2 weeks. My wife drives like 2 hours a day so that’s plenty of work on the lights.

[@azekgask5882]

it says easy… but has bunch of steps like taking parts off

[@connorclarkson2612]

@Flexx Alexander Thanks for the discount Can’t wait for this kit to come 👍🏻

[@silentone503]

Bro, I had a 2021 glb 250 4matic for a few days and that thing was nuts. It was as close to piloting a space ship that I'll ever get.

[@jrh5544]

Can confirm

[@stanfordshultz9665]

Be careful on a new car because cutting into the wires could void your warranty.

[@soulbrother3299]

Right

[@aryanr1681]

The car is too old to still be on warranty from MB

[@matasjarutis6743]

Could you do an update pls, the more I look into it allot of people say the optic tube keeps popping out if you don’t glue it in thanks

[@imaginesagi]

This was great! I hope they make a a battery operated one so I wouldn’t have to slice into power 😬.

[@nwilliams744]

Great video... I think the mood ambient lighting adds a touch to the interior of the car! I’m glad my 5 series came with them

[@jamilahperry7352]

Great job!!! You do great quality work with these cars!!

[@williamboyce1664]

I am terrified of doing installations where I have to connect wires but great job

[@Norcalw204]

I’m so happy I found this channel

[@TheFlexxGarage]

I’m happy you found my channel. Welcome! 😎🤙🏼

[@mygodisable2]

Yeah Flexx great job, looks so much better than the last one you put on. Hey tell lady Flex I said hi. God bless you guys.

[@reggienhappiness8851]

Can’t be lazy when it comes to you tube

[@blackstars3720]

Great content but could you show how to properly splice into the power and ground wires please?

[@hkmarhk]

Thanks for the video!! I have got a similar kit from Aliexpress and I have been trying to understand how to install it. Your video is by far the best and clearest to me!!

[@mrpmj00]

I like the wireless ability BUT the light looks like it gets dimmer the farther it is from the light source, which is the same eBay poor quality that I had bought.

[@heatjrb]

You should do the Rolls Royce star lights. That would be pretty cool video.

[@chrisdeonanan1265]

cant in the w204 the panoramic sunroof takes up most the room

[@EgoVolsung]

Good work @Flexx - is there a 12V ignition only power source on the door card? I am leaning towards tapping into the interior door handle illumination. Thanks //

[@emodrmmr007]

yup...i wanna do this to my car, but want it done right

[@TheFlexxGarage]

Then have a shop do it

[@crazytech5755]

Ddid this to my corolla, and people always are amazed at how good it looks inside. Added pillow leather seats too. Added an elegant wood wrap to certain parts as well. People just can't believe it's a corolla LOL!!! A little bit of smarts, can go a long way. For around 1k I made my car look, and feel allot like something that costs10-15 x its price.

[@TheFlexxGarage]

Nice. Congrats!!!

[@KCMrecordings]

Did you do it like flex, or run into some new problems and have to come up with aby new approaches? Like for example the back doors

[@MsSongbird31]

Great instructional video. I especially like “happy wife happy life”!

[@user-yw6se6er7g]

Love the videos you make!! Keep up the great work

[@aaronpoisson]

After riding in my 2020 GLE350 loaner that has mood lighting, I really wanna do this mod to my W204 now. This video has been great and I appreciate how you went over the different components and how they function before migrating to the install. I'm thinking about also adding the 10.25" Samsung screen to my vehicle too. I wonder if users could install the color change app on that device to update colors???

[@muhdshahnaz4161]

Happy life,happy wife,happy night..just saying😬

[@jozertron]

Flex you should do a video on the push button start upgrade on the c250

[@TheFlexxGarage]

Not easy to do. I already looked into it.

[@nicolaasvandenberg4023]

Great video keep it up!

[@TheFlexxGarage]

Thanks!

[@anthonyberrios5248]

Pretty dope I'm gonna do this in my 97 s500 it's mint but I've been trying to modernize the interior this gives it that new Mercedes s class feel good video too step by step everything I needed to know was clearly explained made me sub

[@rolexusmonroe3948]

Ima do this to my c240 and throw in that 12.8 tesla screen and some curtains. Thats just the interior. Im showin out 2k21

[@Whooptyloo]

You are the goat dude. Good job on the tutorial and thank you

[@elena-cosminaenea2000]

you just had 2 or the more places to install bit other than that you did such an amazing job

[@HoangNguyen-lb2rs]

Can you do a video with the car on? I wanted to see how they look with all the other light on while driving, radio, buttons etc...

[@fakmenow]

Looks super clean, good job Flexx! I wonder how the OEM ambient lights work for MB

[@bornarazaviazarkhiavi8629]

individual led's

[@El_Grande_Jefe]

I know the huge improvement of these things would be the trim to be colored. so it looks nice during the day too. not this clear stuff. I don't know about fiber optic but I think some EL stuff comes colored.

[@Salubrious101]

Great vid but dodgy wiring it's easier and safer to use a fuse connector to splice into the fuse wite at the fuse box, safe and clean and no manual splicing.

[@amershomaly6239]

Phil Amarn how does that work?

[@xxdynamicsxx]

Good vid, but shuld have shown The music flashig feture😁

Appreciate the video. Looks good. Gonna suck when someone has to remove them door panels tho.

[@shawn4526]

just a few screws & clips

[@thephenom749]

Flexx awesome video I’m gonna try that in my C300

[@57RollsRoycePhantom]

Never clicked so fast 🤪

[@TheFlexxGarage]

Hahahaha

[@nygiant89]

But do the strips look stupid during the day though

[@jarnoheikkinen1813]

I guess no. Just transparent thin tube alongside door trim, should not poke out.

[@Twentiesss]

Nice....might try this since EL wire sucks and doesn't last more than 6 months if you're lucky. Hopefully this lasts a while

[@SA-jy5zv]

I bet your a little jealous you dont have them in your car haha. Nice vid bro, next time can you pls show a close up of how the optical lines sit in creases. Thanks!!

[@spazz_pockets5487]

What if I want to use Bluetooth to play music on my car

[@edwardmcmahon2212]

Keep up the great videos man

[@STCHIANG1972]

Please tell me where the power supply of the back door is connected, thank you.

[@stampapafratzeskos2054]

keep up the good work, very nice and informative vid!

[@jujujefe]

Since this is linked to Bluetooth, can you be connected to your car Bluetooth and the lights Bluetooth at the same time? Or would you have to use an aux cable for music and connect the lights to your Bluetooth

[@finnjudge270]

Judah Peralta you would have to do it separately

[@2doors303]

It depends on the phone

[@jaibunter6405]

If you have bluetooth 5.0 on your phone you can connect to 2 different bluetooth devices at once

[@alfredozarraga9800]

This is a lot of work that as a car novice I would not feel comfortable doing. I would like to install a lighting system, but I would also be willing to pay for it be done. Any suggestions on where? Dallas, TX.

[@_munkeey_9604]

There’s a place in Lewisville Texas near Dallas called midnight custom cars. They do a bunch of light mods.

Do the driver side like the passenger too. Passenger looks way better

[@anthonytan8751]

Great work mate🙂. Nice car

[@jaym7849]

I want to know how they’re going for you know later on and whether they’re still working. I went out, bought their kit and installed it professionally and all the wireless boxes failed one by one a month later. They eventually sent out new boxes and now they’ve all failed as well! I feel like our recommendations are extremely contrary

No way to get lost very well explained.. flexx since you car doesn't have mirror puddle lights, why you dont get an aftermarket puddle lights for your car. Having the dynamic turn signals along with the puddle light your car would be looking awsome.. I hope you consider that... any other than that very good video..

[@TheFlexxGarage]

Just lazy to do it. It would look dope. Not too long until the C250 is for sale though...need a new project car. Going to announce it in my upcoming Q&A video.

[@tignad82]

Hey how bright is the fiber optics light? Some of the stuff on Amazon and eBay are just not bright and since this item cost almost double. I’m assuming qualities are better?

[@TheFlexxGarage]

I don’t think they sell this kit anymore. They came out with a better version. It’s in this video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/l2Saqml_qdFkmNU

[@avengingeyes4041]

Love the video just had one question is there enough optic tube for all four doors and the dash?

[@TheFlexxGarage]

I would say yes. But you better be careful you don’t screw up and bend a part of the tube too hard or else you won’t be able to use it. Yes, this optic tube is better than the crap eBay one...but it still can crack if you make like a hard right angle or bend the tube back and forth.

[@kadourkadouri3505]

Good job man with the lights ! And besides, the disclaimer and the interest disclosure that’s very correct, wish every KZbinr would do that

[@TheFlexxGarage]

It’s legally required. If a youtuber isn’t disclosing, their video is illegal.

Does this have cool white .. not light blue or warm white (yellow)..???

[@7REY1017]

Hey quick question! I just installed a kit I bought like this and I saw your review on how the fibers had cracks and imperfections and I’m dealing with the same thing. Is this kit a better option compared to that one? Just wanted to know and be sure before purchasing. Thanks!
