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.

Best video for the retrofit no doubt.

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

Is this illuminated star is always on just like the daytime running lights? or will just be on when the headlights are turned on?

What size gauge is the red quick splice clamp for the wire to tap in with the wiring for the DRL/low beams?

Yes. Yellow wire is low beam White wire is high beam. I’m connecting to the low beam yellow wire.

What one did you get off of Amazon? I didn’t see the link

Will these instructions work for a 2014 E350?

This looks like the same for the A220 right?

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..

If I connect to the emblem to the day light does it still stay on when the night lights turn on?

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

@angellopez0101

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.

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

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.
