Upgrade your Mercedes ambient lights w221 S class ( works for many Mercedes models)

The original LED ambient lights on Mercedes cars from 2006-2016 are terrible and very weak. This cheap mod will bring your car up to date and it'll have the same intensity and look as a 2020 E or S class.
so this works for w212, w218, x218, basically any Mercedes with ambient lighting. even if you DON'T have the ambient light option, the transparent strip are still there.

Aliexpress got so many products, which one is the right for these strips? best case would be an RGB option

[@TB-rm5nd]

Perfect Video. Thank you very much, now my w212 will get some bright ambient light soon😁 found the led strip on aliexpress and the same, but 4 times the price, on ebay

Hello Michael my S class Ambienlights don’t work

[@osamabronz6715]

Hello Michael I have the same problem my lights are pretty low on my W221 2009 can you send me the link for these lights the u put I love the results

[@TB-rm5nd]

You can order from aliexpress its not that expensive

[@La_abbess]

Share the link if you get it 💚

Hello Michael!

[@mpcbeats]

How much did you charge the client I would want it in my car 2009 S550

[@Twin.motors]

@@mpcbeats it was my own car. To be honest the cost of the materials is very low.. under 100$. The labor involved is "costly" in terms of hours 😁

[@ionutarmani1439]

Hi, will it affect my dashboard? I mean will warning lights pop up for no reason? 😅

[@Twin.motors]

No nothing at all 100%

[@shakes6962]

Hey man I had a question I have the same car and the LED went out above the dash I have light coming all the way until it reaches the turn up and over the dash, can help me with any ideas on how to get this light to come back on , Im ok with the original however the dead part is driving me crazy please help 🙏♥️

[@Twin.motors]

You most likely have a dead led in that area. You'd need to take it apart and replace the whole thing or if you know what you're doing you can replace just the led module. Tricky either way

[@pawekarczewski8750]

Hello Michael I have a question, do you have these plastic strips that you disassembled? if so, don't you want to sell them?

[@carlossoto8868]

You actually called the LED CCFL clearly you have no idea what kind of LEDs they have on the Mercedes-Benz that is an LED at the end of that stripped one simple LED it is not a CCFL light

[@vladvlad8505]

This led strip won't light after tuning the engine on. Because the original ambient light works with 0.9 W. This led strip has 10w/meter. After tuning the engine on, the led strip won't light anymore. At least on the doors. The dashboard trim has another working power.

Would this work in the 2010 e class?

My w221 has 3 colour option they were bright earlier now they are dull i don't where can get these strips changing the car is not easy afer paying 100% duty the car in india costs 150000£ and the old car 2012 s class sells for 15000-20000£

[@Twin.motors]

you can modify those as well but the wiring is a bit more complex. I'd recomend choosing dual white. That will give you natural, cold and warm white. 3 wires

no errors at all. Which is pretty shocking considering the original led must use around 5w total and my LEDs use at least 20w
