- Just a quick guide on how to install your light up star on your Mercedes. In this case we are working on a 2014 CLA 250. In this video I show how to wire it up so that when you unlock your car it will light up with the running lights. I hope this helps.
Finally a video that explains in a complete and detailed way even an inexperienced person like me
Thanks for this video you were right about the other videos. It doesn’t make any sense and it doesn’t show much and didn’t explain simple enough to understand it. Very well made video. 👍🏽
Thanks for the video bro, and yes the yellow wire is for low beams thats how i hooked mine up.
I've been scouring the internet trying to find what wire to splice into for DRL , 5 hours later oi find this gem thnx much
Glad I helped you out!!
Hello where did u find that wire to splice to drl?
Best video for the retrofit no doubt.
Do you have the link to this specific product?
Is this illuminated star is always on just like the daytime running lights? or will just be on when the headlights are turned on?
Absolute legend. Thanks man
I appreciate it!!!
Yes. Yellow wire is low beam
White wire is high beam.
I’m connecting to the low beam yellow wire.
Yessir that’s my whip 😎
Glad I could help
My friend thank you for the video does it stay on when driving during the day and night ??
Yes it does, if you only want it on at night you would just wire it to the normal low beam light.
@@angellopez0101 do you know which wire is for the low beam headlight? And where's the wire located? I want it on only at night when the headlight is on
@@BLueFeaTHeRedOliVeS it’s the thicker yellow wire that I was pointing out, someone in the comments confirmed that it’s that one as well
@@angellopez0101 perfect, thank you. I'm having a really hard time finding one for a 2017 GLA 250. Do you know if any of the other models are interchangeable and not yet verified fitment? I'm curious because if you look at non-led listings, 2015 gl350 emblems are compatible with the 2017 gla 250 emblems. As soon as you shop for a LED version there's so much fewer versions of listed compatibility. Doesn't make sense to me
Thanks for the video bro , I tried to tap in to the thick yellow one and my star still didn’t come on , same with the running daylights . Any solution? I used T-Taps
The first thing I would check is your T-Tap connection, it’s likely something might not be making proper contact. Make sure your ground is grounded properly. Also make sure your tap broke through the wires insulation and is making contact.
@@angellopez0101 thank you bro I will check
I have a 2008 cls 550 can I put a newer bumper on it
I wanna get the same star as this video but the link you posted is only matte black :( I want it like yours and same installation please help out I need it asap :)
Hey did u find the same star I have the same grill
Can you do mine? Where are you located?
I wish I can get one on mine. I have the 2021 gls suv 450 matic and have the distronic package so Mercedes said I cannot do it.. Bummer..
Where can we order this please?
If I connect to the emblem to the day light does it still stay on when the night lights turn on?
What size gauge is the red quick splice clamp for the wire to tap in with the wiring for the DRL/low beams?
Bro I don’t have the white and red electric cable, which I should use?
What colour is it for the European model daytime running light 👐
Well I found the wire but on the driver's side works fine thx for the help 👍
Does it turn on with the Headlamps at night as well or just with the running lights?
Yes it will turn on at night as well, the running lights are on with the headlights as well
@@angellopez0101 thanks so much.
What one did you get off of Amazon? I didn’t see the link
Can anyone help me find one for 2021 CLA
The link isn't working, my car is 2018, can you send the link for one?
Try copying and pasting the link in your browser.
@@angellopez0101 tried it do you have an Ig or snap where u can send the link.. just need a screenshot of the one you bought thank you
I guess the link I showed isn’t available, here is a different listing but it’s the same product. It appears it is only compatible up to 2017 models according to the description.

I did find one compatible for 2018 & had it installed Tuesday, love it!
@@jerzeebrat Great to hear!!
Will these instructions work for a 2014 E350?
This looks like the same for the A220 right?
Can I have the link?
Here’s the link for the light up emblem, not the same listing I purchased from but it is the same compatibility as the one I installed.

@@angellopez0101 what actually comes with this package? I currently have one and light works and everything but it broke. So wiring is already there but I need to replace front clips I guess clips broke and detached
Hey man, are you in the SF area? If so, can you help me with changing the emblem? I can pay you. Thank you.
i’m about to install mine today, if it’s successful, i can help you. i work in SF
How did you remove it though?
Get a firm grip on the star and simply turn it to the left it will pop right out.
hi, I have a class A 2016 ... the colors of the wires are different and there are 5 wires in total ... large brown, yellow, blue, blue / white and large yellow / red ... can you tell me which one I owe connect ?
Yellow
I cant remove my emblem have the bumper off the car and cant twist off 🤦🏽♂️
Lol 😂
Where do you get the clips from tho
I had them laying around from a remote start kit, you can buy the taps on Amazon or Walmart but you don’t need them you could just strip some of the insolation to make good contact and use electrical tape
Can u provide link to the loght
Where you get that diamond grill ?
Its the stock grill DIY painted with silver
I bought mine off eBay
You can buy stickers for the silver diamonds. I have it like this and they are strong glue. they do the work
Where did you get the emblem from?
I got it from Amazon
@@angellopez0101 link? I see a bunch but I want that exact one lol
@@shawnmoney8055 the listing from where this one was purchased isn’t available anymore. This one should be the same one emblem however: LED Emblem for 2011-2018, Front Car Grille Badge, Illuminated Logo Hood Star DRL, White Light - Drive Brighter (White, not Transparent Grid) a.co/d/fNG43aY
@@angellopez0101 appreciate it man, did you order headlights to match them?
@@angellopez0101what headlights are those
Hi guys just wondering if anyone knows how to remove the blue Mercedes badge that’s just above the large star. Is it a remove bumper job or does it pop out with a pick tool ? Thanks
A pick tool does the job
Do U respond I have a question
What your question?
Is this for a 2016 model
2014
However, It may likely be the same for the 2016

Where’s the video show how to take it off
😁👍
Where did you get the blue piece to connect to the lights
Had it laying around. You can get them at auto parts stores or Walmart or amazon. Many places have them. They’re called wire T-Taps.
Is there a specific size T Tap needed?
ive been running mine for a while now. suddenly it doesnt was to tun on. any ideas? ive cheched the connections already, but i suppose i can redo it all if you really think its just the connection
doesnt turn on**
Anyone gotta link for c43 amg 2021?
But, when you turn on a blinker, that side running light turns off (while blinking), does that affect the star?
good point i was curious too
Does it look like the stock emblem?
Yes
Cool I’m getting install , I can’t wait to see it , one more question, you didn’t get any errors on dashboard like check low beam ?
@@thestarsbarber0813 Nope, it did not affect anything. In this case it was connected to the running lights power cable, so it is not affecting the low beam lights in any way. Even if it were wired to the low beams it shouldn’t cause any problem.
My guy I appreciate ya !
I have a 2017 Mercedes CLA
Wow. The most important part is showing how to tap in. Nobody shows you how, only the end result. Have no idea how to do it after seeing 3 videos.
Very simple, look up wire tappers on google. All you do is close the tapper over the wire tightly until it snaps in. Then you use the other part that connects to the tapper by inserting the bare red wire into it and crimping. And all you do is plug it in.
Also you can look up how to use a wire tapper on CZcams, it’s expected that you have the knowledge to know how to work with things on your own or learn in order to proceed with this installation. I hope I could help.
Where’s the link ?
Should be able to find it on Amazon, they’re pretty much the same just different sellers, the original listing isn’t up anymore so I removed the link.
I have a 2017 C300 coupe... would anyone know the color of the daytime running wire? Thanks in advance
This isn’t working at all
What’s the problem
The wiring..I had to unfortunately test and trial. Plus I have two yellow. I didn’t have the wire you showed in yours. Nonetheless I got it up and running. Thank you for the instructions 👌🏽
@@kenzomobileautodetailing3691 good to hear!
is it legal to drive with this?
Yes
Multiple Mercedes models have them like this from factory you telling me you've never seen one
Hahah 🤣 I was about to write the same thing. Like Mercedes Benz themselves have this feature on certain models from factory. LOL
Stop wiggling it while you’re showing the clips!
Plz
Why not just tap into a fuse?😂
did you try? there is no fuse for that 😂
@@Jose-bx9er just have to tap into headlight fuse genius
@@ricardoflores5711 I have search at all the fuses and none of them work to do this. THERE IS NO FUSE for headlights GENIUS. I bet you don't even have a Mercedes, you just talk nonsense, you waste your time and make others waste it believing you are the smartest and proving just the opposite
The CLA are the worst benz to get they always break down.
They have little to no powertrain issues from what I've seen so wanna elaborate Mr expert
As someone who drives a CLA and has read a LOT about them before buying one I can tell you - that's the biggest Bullshit I have ever heard
wow
Everything ok?
