Mercedes CLA/GLA/A Class C117/W176 Ambient Lighting Install | RGB LED Car Interior Lights |
Working on this Mercedes CLA was a real challenge, I really wanted to document the install as best as I can and therefore the video is pretty long but I hope the information on this can help others in the future.

Sir, you have the patience of a saint. I’d have thrown those vents right out the window. Quality stuff. I have a GLA and thinking of this. Well done man.

Running into the same issue installing ambient lights in my a class for the rear doors... Got It working on front doors but no usable live 12V on rear doors... Brilliant solution! Which pins did you use in the pillar connector? Do you have a link where i can buy them? I believe CLA ad A share the same wiring harness. Thanks.
How did you get the ambient light to change on the Odometer? Was this mentioned in the video and I missed it? Does it adapt to the color once of the vents once those are changed?
I got a question. At this moment I don’t have the option of ambient color change on my cla180 2017 so wil it pop up automatically after I setup the air vents?
Hi,is it possible to get wires from the front door to the inside of the car through a bent hose? Mercedes cla
Hi this is nice what light would I get for my a class 2017 plate to do the same as the video 😁
can you explain how this ambient lighting connects/shows up to the centre console andif it's possible without replacing the vents?
@mrgcc
3 жыл бұрын
Hi mate, so the vents and door handles have tapped into the original wiring harness (the white connector on the driver door) which then tells the other lights what to do. So the original display for light controls is still possible. The other kit used (my normal kit I use) is controlled via the phone and its the contrasting lights. Hope that explains it
Looks amazing. I want mine done. Would you do it for me? If so how much do you charge?

Hi I have ran into a problem, I have got a Mercedes A class 66 plate and I was installing the ambient lights today everything was going fine, I managed to get the dash sorted and footwells. But as I was trying to do the passenger door I tapped into the main wires which where brown and red. The lights were working for the passenger door but as I was putting the door card back on the wires ended up coming out and the lights stopped working and now when i put a multimeter to check it is showing as 0V but it was 12V before. Ive tried putting the door panel and all the electrical clips back together but nothing for the passenger door is working. Could you please help me

Another question I’ve got for you we’ve got a 2014 Mercedes S class which already has the standard ambient lighting how would you recommend to go about it as the lights are not that bright, would you say to remove them lights and replace them with the new lights that you use or would you say to leave them as they are and just do a new run
