So annoying how he just skips stages. What’s the point of uploading video like this when you going to not record everything 😊
I’m so thankful for this video!
Man, I just got a 64 color kit for my C43 that came with the 3 colors only as well. Tks for the vídeo. It doesn’t look easy but it’s doable. Had to get this kit because the one color I want didn’t come on the 3 color. Blue!!
Bro I can't thank you enough for this video. I've got a c coupe as well. The video was spot on and helped me fit mine. I took 2days as well !

Hi bro, Thanks for the video was clear enough and complete, well done 👍 The only question that i want to ask you is ? Do i need to run the extension pins through door electric coupling know that my car (w205) came with original ambient light on ( 4 doors, 4 footwell, Center console, cup holder & roof ?? Thanks
Great video and very helpful,just wanted to ask you regarding the pins it mean did you remove 4 original and replace from the new kit or was enough empty pocket to put the new ones?Thank you
Thanks for the video.. very informative. I do have a question. For the seat lights, did they stay orange like the OEM ones or did they also change and you change the diode?
Hello. I have a question did you change also the led inside the cup holder and the handle door open and the small leds in the center of the roof or you keep the original ? my question is how you get there the 64 color?
Wow that’s a lot of work but it looks good.
Hey Bro Good work 👍 One question. I have the Same Kit but my Problem is the led dont work when i put it in the door. Do i Must put the 4 colors Kabel in the harness ? Then it works? I think when i put the led at nummber 3 at the door it must work the new led or im wrong .. ? Sorry for my english im from germany Thank you
Do I need to both side the pins or one sode just to connect to give power
You doing a good job bro keep them coming👏👏👏 I am still waiting for your android screen install

Hi Emi. I've got 2 issues. Colours are not synced (I'll try to disconnect as you advised). Also, do I have to replace factory leds with the leds that have been shipped buy the seller? Thanks!
Thanks for your this video lad, I really need your help cos I’m stuck here, where did you connect the other end of the pin you ran through the harnesses 5:20 you didn’t say in the video, pls help
Do the lights shut off with the car? Or do you have to manually turn them off in the settings menu?
Which of the 18 options do I get for a w205 sedan?
Great job 👍🏼 need this on my W205, where about you based mate?
Hey, my vehicle is already equipped with the 64 computer. I did order the Af vents because that’s the only thing that doesn’t have ambient lighting. My question is is there a connector under the console which will allow me to plug and play the new ambient Af vents to the original
Hey ,did you have to disconnect car battery before installation?
Did u connect the new turbine vents wiring into the Oem port how did u get them to come on or do they work n power from the obd
Yooooo.. Amazing.. i want on my Benz as well. Do you install for others persons ? I wished to do it but i dont have skill for that.
Where did you order the entire kit. I have the same car. I wanna do this ASAP . Help pls.
Thanks this video is great until we watched it we thought our kit was missing a control box for the middle lights and vents. But thanks to you we know we have to use the 2 wires with pin ends in the door connector. the kit had no instructions
How did you connect the kit to the car? Fuse etc. Why didn’t you show that ?
did yours come with the ambient light software
How has the lighting kit held up bro ? Does it still work and how is the quality ? Would you recommend ?
This video is a gem but you skipped all important and difficult parts.
What if you have 0 color ambient lighting?
I got the same kit I have installed everything but I can’t power up the lights
Where did you get the ambient vents Brother?
Did you replace the LED strips on the center console and side doors? I think I missed that, or did u use the same stock LED light, and gave it 64 colors. I’m confused. Feels like I’m missing something from the video.
Does anyone know if this is possible on the new W206 c class? if so, are there any US modders/dealerships that do it?
How to did you connect the pin wires
How much does this upgrade cost to have it done by you and we’re are you located. Thanks Lee
Can this be done on a PFL w176 A45 ?
Hi i have the same in my E klass but one of them doesn’t change the color It’s have only red color and I don’t know what the problem and why i cant change the color Do you know how to fix it?
Hey! Thanks for the video, any chance you can also upload video with brightness to minimum settings? it seems too bright for me and really hesitate to spend 600$ on it :d
Looks great well done. Can you answer a question or two? I have factory fitted 3 colour and am hoping to fit the same type vents as you have with just the 3 colours (so not upgrading to 64 colour). My question is to just fit the vents - would i need to take off the door cards and insert the new pins - or was that part associated with the 64 colour upgrade? as i say i'm looking at fitting the new 3 colour air vents- is it just a case of wiring into the centre console ambient light plug - like a piggyback plug ? thanks

Do you have installed the 3 colour vents now? Do they fit with the OEM ambient light or would you recommend me getting the 64 colour vents for making it fit better to the regular ambient lights? Thank you

Brilliant video and job. Surely there has to be an easier way??

Hey i installed this kit and got it to work and everything, but at the start i had purple red the bright colours but now i only have like 40 shades of blue,green,cyan. Any ideas as to why?

Wait I still don’t get it, how do the lights get power? Some people tell me to just plug in the OBD2 port but that doesn’t work for me, than some say, connect the main module to port 3 on the door side and than others is to connect the pins like you, but I’m lost and don’t know what to do

Good video mate. I had the illuminated vents fitted in my 2018 GLC63 today but when I left the installers I had loads of errors come up on the dash did you get any messages or problems? They have connected the box that came with the vents to the can bus on drivers side so I unplugged it and no more error messages?!?

I was getting allsorts coming on the dash like brake assist error, electronic diff not operational and the engine management light came on so I unplugged the box and just left the rest of the wiring in and restarted the car and they didn't didn't come up again but I did scan with my obd and got u0001 & u0100 permanent and they won't clear.

how did you learn to fit the AMBIENT LIGHTING + AMBIENT VENTS ? is there any other video because I did not get where you connect the main harness for the light and the other question when you bought these lights from Aliexpress did you pay tax for it? I mean did the courier send you a letter to pay tax before delivery? thank you

Hi yeah I couldn’t find anything on it either, which is why I was learning as I was filming which is why it isn’t totally clear, there are two harnesses with 4 different coloured pins, one of the harnesses has a female connector and the other is a male connector, you have to place these into the existing door harness, in the video it shows how to do this, and I didn’t have to pay any tax when I got mine

This kit just supplied the stuff for the front, however fitting the back seat vents and footwell lights would be the only ambient lighting that’s needed in the coupes, which is the same process as shown in the video
Why don’t you respond to people who’s commenting that they lights aren’t on but you’ll respond to someone who has it working and going.
