If you guys get this and you can't tell which way is the top. Look on the back, and there should be a three spoke rubber thing with the wiring coming out of it (to match the three spoke Mercedes Star design). The LONGEST spoke points to the top. This star DOES have a top, you can't put it in any which way you want. Look at the back to determine the top. Otherwise you might end up trying to force it and crack the plastic housing or break your star. It does take some force to get in.

Hey bro, Ik this vid is old but I followed step for step on my 2015 c300 w205, got the fuse tap for both the blue and 5 amp fuse. Black wire to bolt, my meter was reading 15 on the connection piece for the extension wire. Plugged in the emblem and nothing. I even got the emblem replaced with a new one and still nothing!💀 please help 🙏🏽

Did you test the star off the car to make sure it works before installing it on the car? If it does work off the car, then there’s 3 possible issues. 1) your black wire ground is not grounded to metal. Sometimes you need to scrape away some paint on the metal surface so they black ground wire can touch raw metal. 2) you didn’t tap to a power source that turns on with the key turned on. 3) you tapped into a power source that only turns on when it’s dark outside. If that’s the case, you can only test the light when the light sensor in the middle top of the windshield detects that it’s dark outside.

hey flexx i tried doing it on my 2018 but all the fuses make the star be on forever , i used a circuit tester and the one it seemed like it would work didnt turn the star on at all think ima have to wire it to the headlight?

Yeah, not sure but there should be a fuse that powers up and down with the ignition. But if I was to tap the headlight, I’d use an inline fuse to protect the system.

@@TheFlexxGarage thanks for the reply bro after a while of more testing I found one that would turn off after about 17 seconds since I lock the car so I kept that one and it worked!

Flexx Bro I have a big question. I have a 2017 e300 and updated my grill to the pan American grill. I love the distronic look but having a issue trying to find one for my car. I looked on dmp but they only have them for the c class do you think it will fit the e class also??? I ordered a couple from ebay but they were thrash and didn’t fit and had to send them back. I’ve looked everywhere but the dealership but you already know they will probably be a arm and a leg from them. Just trying to pick your brain on where I could go. Your cars are looking good and enjoy your channel and getting ideas from you. Keep up the good work and hope you have any ideas.

Wish i could help but I don’t really know for an E. One would assume they would use the same star as the C (to cut down cost) but I can’t confirm that.

Is this LED star any brighter than other LED stars on market?
