I ordered the harness and the install was less than 30 minutes with the help of your video!!! Thank you for posting, you saved me a bunch of time trying to figure out which slot to put the fuse holder in. The factory harness is definitely the way to go! I installed it on a 2016 GL450 and it was same process as your 2017.

So glad to have helped! My local dealership wanted over $1,000.00 for the parts and installation of this illuminated star - I just thought that was outrageous and price gouging! Post a pic of your lit star!!! Richard

Now there is a option for the emblem light up for the 2021 GLC now but sadly if you put the driver assistance package while having the option checked it will tell you or force you to remove it which sucks.

Hi thank you for the tutorial I was able to install it using the same part numbers you provided, however, the star stopped working and now it won’t light up at all no matter what I do, fuse is not blown. Could it be because of water damage from washing the car?

Just not sure how did you run the positive wire under the fuse, did you take out the whole fuse box and than insert the positive wire in the fuse box?

The fuse box has a rubber grommet were you can make a small hole to run the positive cable to fuse connector

No watch the video again - the part where I described using the scalpel to slice a small slit into the rubber gasket going into the side of the fuse box unit and then running the wire through that slit. So no holes were drilled in anything! RRR

I just completed this job and it works great. One thing though... I noticed on my home security cameras that the light lights up on its own when the car is off. I'm trying to find the pattern but it appears to happen about a half hour after the car has been shut off. It turns on for about 12 seconds, and then turns off. It repeats this pattern EXACTLY every minute for a half hour and then finally stops. Weirdest thing ever. EDIT: Made a video of the issue here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eZzXe5SJmbJpi9U

Also: In some models you may need to wait up to 30 minutes for all the electronic systems to go “to sleep”. This will allow the car to shut off any electronic consumers that stay on for a brief period after the car is parked. But, I think it's likely sensing the FOB key during this time frame. Get a key FOB bag from Amazon - Mission Darkness I think makes nice ones...
