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! 👍🏻

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.
@AlbanianFix Жыл бұрын
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.

@AlbanianFix7 ай бұрын
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.

@AlbanianFix2 жыл бұрын
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.
