then wire it up to your brake light that turns on when the car is on. I don't recommended it because "third brake lights" in most stays aren't support to stay on all the time. The lighted star is essentially a third brake light based on it's location.
Thanks again flex you kept me going its been 6 months but system finally done no more fiber optic nothing thanks to you and Raymond you guys rock went with JL w0 12s two of them in ported jl envlosure JL c1 components in door and coax in back i used a lot of xtrons stuff they seem to work great in Mercedes-Benz.
@@TheFlexxGarage it wasn't curved but it it seemed to have double sided tape that was pretty padded and looks pretty good. But I did cover the holes with tape like you recommended to prevent water leakage. I think I'm going to run some vinyl around the edges like you did just as a bit of extra protection. I'll post a link in the comments once I post it to my tik tok
Looks great - did you just “eye” it? It looks perfectly centered. I think I’ll mess it up , get it on off center and be stuck cos it’s glue! My E550 comes to a point in front and tail which makes the front plate either have a huge gap or bend; the tail star gap is so bad it just snapped when I put my car cover on. This looks like a good solution. Thank you.
The Mercedes Benz C class 2012 coupe is mu favorite car ever ♥️ just the 2l diesel and C 63 pack with the 4 exhaust pipe 😱 i will ad this logo to my list thanks 👍🏻
Hey flex i installed in my 04e320 works perfect when i hit brake. It is a little cheaply made so i was going to rap edgeds in vinal and when that done. I was going to over lay hole emblem with vinal tint to protect it because silver on star will start to chip off. What do you think?
Yeah, I really wish it wasn’t flat and instead curved with the body of the trunk so it’s flush. Def protect it if you want it to last. I honestly don’t remember how long I had it on my car.
Thank you for your video Flexx, I have a GLK350 and the tail light is also used as brake light on both sides. While I put on the brakes, the tail light is brighter... I installed the emblem but it lights all the time instead of putting the brakes on. Do you know if I can correct it? Unless I connect the wire to the centre brake LED light. Your comments are appreciated.
Hiya bro...is it same scenario for a 19 plate merc were reverse camera comes from the back boot badge... my badge flips up and camera comes out when i put in reverse....is this possible to upgrade this type please??
Thanks for all the videos Flexx - you helped me get rid of the gym sock smell in my AC, and with my front light up emblem, my front lip and side skirts. I'm installing a light up rear emblem and I want to tap it into the taillight, so that it lights up when the taillights kick on at night, instead of with the brake lights. I cant find online which wire to tap for this - would you happen to know? Appreciate any insight!
Link to illuminated trunk star: www.amazon.com/dp/B07XJNX67M/ref=cm_sw_r_fm_apa_i_BlNfEbR3HBN98 The only issue like you stated is that most trunks has a slight curve and would not fit properly. You found a great solution to a black car, but for any other color it would be really noticeable IMO
I’m not in mass anymore. If you want custom work done, check out my friends over at Boston Mechanics LLC in Norwood. They can do any install I’ve done in my videos.
Hi flexx !!!Thanks a lot for your Videos ,,,iam looking for the Mercedes led trunk star ,but i do not found it at eBay vor amazon,,,,would you like to show me where can i find it,,,lol
Doesn’t concern me. My car is spotted everywhere especially with my TH-cam name on the rear passenger window. My plates been seen a billion times. Covering it in a video isn’t going to help. If someone wants to be a “weirdo” towards me, they’ll find a way. Covering a plate isn’t a deterrent.
Yup. In my new videos with the W205 and Audi, I only started covering the plates because it looks so much better and less distracting on video and in pics...not to hide it from weirdos. But everywhere I go, people still see the plates anyway and I don't really care.
Bob McMahon Hi Bob, I picked one up off eBay when I changed my w204 grill over to the diamond grill. I had to slightly modify it and use hot glue but it looks cool. Good luck.
5D LED Car Tail Logo Light Badge Lamp Emblem For for Mercedes GLK-Class,S-Class Maybach,A/C/CLA/GLA/G/M/S/SL-Class AMG,etc All Models for Mercedes-Benz all of cars (blue)
hey flexx I tried to do this but the LED didn't light up. Can you tell me any troubleshooting steps? I manually spliced it but will try using a t-tap tmrw..what is the battery pack you used?
It doesn’t take a lot to power up so either wires are crossed, wires to star isn’t providing power, or the star is dead. I would use a 9V battery to test the star. Run the positive and negative wires to the 9V battery terminals and if the star works, it should light up. You can buy a 9volt battery at any store. (The square looking battery).
Hmmm…I’m really not sure. It worked on my car using the step by step I did in my video. No errors, no issues. Double check you are tapping the right wire. Maybe your cars wiring is different?
Mercedes is not gonna put aftermarket parts on your car. They don’t wanna be held responsible for any products that not made by them. And no, I can’t. I’m not a mechanic and I don’t work on peoples cars. Sorry man.

What if you want it always on? Not when the brakes are applied.
then wire it up to your brake light that turns on when the car is on. I don't recommended it because "third brake lights" in most stays aren't support to stay on all the time. The lighted star is essentially a third brake light based on it's location.
Thanks for the info
Where can i get this from
Literally the ONLY installation video that I have found for the rear trunk illuminated star! Thanks so much!!!
I just wished the star was slightly curved so It flows with shape of the trunk.
Thanks again flex you kept me going its been 6 months but system finally done no more fiber optic nothing thanks to you and Raymond you guys rock went with JL w0 12s two of them in ported jl envlosure JL c1 components in door and coax in back i used a lot of xtrons stuff they seem to work great in Mercedes-Benz.
Good stuff!!!
Awesome addition Flexx. I’m loving your videos. Keep up the great work.
Watching this video helped me out a lot but for me I just wired to the 12v in the trunk so it always stays on...thanks again bro keep posting
DAMN...didn’t even know this existed. I like it a lot. Thanks Flexx!
Just push the brake in hard till it says hold. Bake lights will stay on.
I just installed it this weekend looks great on my 2010 c300. I love this mod thanks for the idea.
Did you run into the same issues with the emblem being flat and the trunk being curved? I’m not sure if they made a curved emblem yet.
@@TheFlexxGarage it wasn't curved but it it seemed to have double sided tape that was pretty padded and looks pretty good.

Dang. I was hoping they started producing better ones but if yours fit like mine did, definitely try to seal the openings.
I really love the star. Great, another super video.
I never would do any mods like yours on our c class...but i enjoy watching you bro!!!...keep up the work!
You always deliver! Great mod!! 💯🔥
Excellent safety feature to have and elegant! Thank you for sharing Sir! My Best, M.L.
I like that big azz subwoofer in the trunk. That's Old Skool.
I was actually going to ask him about that! LOL I want one! LOLOLOL
How he installed that sub is genius. Most Mercedes’ oem players don’t let you add any additional speakers
flex is the mod god for the w204 salute brotha
...I dont know about that. I just happen to be a 204 guy who has a camera and editing skills..haha.
i love your channel bro all this is amazing
I would only do a mod like that if it looked stock in the day. To me it looks different. Too fat. The emblem doesn’t look sleek when the light is off.
Agree plus i have a red benz and that gap will not look good
Thanks brother from Houston Texas

Thanks Flex for the video I will be doing that one

If I want to set it up so it can come on at night when my lights come on instead of the break what cable do I tap it to ?
I believe any 12v wire going to that same tail light would work.
I connect mine with photocell sensor so it only on when it dark outside
Great videos but don’t know how to do all that wiring stuff. How to add an extension and connect to the cars existing wires. Looks complicated
Very cool upgrade
Is there an updates link? The ones in the description are not working anymore. Thanks in advance
Sorry. I don’t know where it’s sold anymore.
Is there anywhere I can get a trunk led star

I have a 2012 slk 350 wondering if anyone knows can I put an illuminated star on it? Well thanks in advance
So I have a weird question. Is there a Mercedes Benz that has that emblem in the same location that is on a arm, that would push it in an out?
Awesome 👏 Bro
Hi Flex,
The links to the light dont work in the UK. do you have others options for getting this product?
thanks

Yooo, can you drive around in ur benz but using the sport shifters??? does your car make downshift revs??? just curious
All I kept noticing was your cool Casio calculator watch!
My favorite watch. Had one in the 90s and finally got one again.
@@TheFlexxGarage - ordered an LED lit star for the front for my W218 CLS 550. Think it's gonna look pretty cool
@@jagplaha9959 where did u order from please
I got the white one can I just set it up to my running lights
Yur
Please let me know how to replace trunk reflector, its broken , the bulb is fine. Can I do myself? or need to take car service centre ?
I like it very much but where can I find it.
I have tried your link but not avail. Please help.
question about removing the trunk lining.. are both hinges plastic covers only held by one push pin?
Yes
Nice job sir!
anything for the w205 ?
Hi flexx !!!Thanks a lot for your Videos ,,,iam looking for the Mercedes led trunk star ,but i do not found it at eBay vor amazon,,,,would you like to show me where can i find it,,,lol
Sweet a fellow Massachusetts man. But just FYI should probably cover your plate next time . Lot of weirdos out there homie

@@TheFlexxGarage I agree. I always think its silly to see it blurred or covered when I'm shopping for cars or watching videos.
Yup. In my new videos with the W205 and Audi, I only started covering the plates because it looks so much better and less distracting on video and in pics...not to hide it from weirdos. But everywhere I go, people still see the plates anyway and I don't really care.
I watched alot of your videos, thankyou. I have a question, do you know the wire colors for a 2013 gl 450 headlight?
hey...did you ever figure out how to add this to your 2013 GL450?
After 4 years now do you know where I can buy this rear LED red emblem?
eBay. Just search for “tail logo Mercedes emblem light”. Could be people selling it.
Hey flex, the links to the star don’t work, was wondering if there was another way to get them?
Tristan Lee flex same here I tried to get the red one and links don’t work? :(
So cool
Is there another wire I can tap into they will make the light come on at night like my head lights ????
Hey Flex, I enjoy your vids. I have a 2017 gla 250 and I cannot find the lighted front emblem star. Any idea where I can find?
Bob McMahon Hi Bob, I picked one up off eBay when I changed my w204 grill over to the diamond grill.
I had to slightly modify it and use hot glue but it looks cool.
Good luck.
What color wire controls tail lights, if I want to tap in there instead.
Will this work for the GLK 350 also? It’s a C class chassis vehicle
Cant find it ..and im tryna order 1 for my car...wen u look it up from ur descript nothing pops up

Where do I buy the trunk emblem light
eBay. Search Mercedes led trunk emblem?
will this work with back up camera?
I bought front one, it was bigger than the old one in my car, Mercedes Cls.. i don't know what should i do now.
I have a 2014 GLK 350 4matic (X204) and the ones that on Amazon that say for 2004-2018 W204 work perfectly.
Where did you order the led trunk light emblem? I don't see the link. Thanks
I can’t find it either anymore.
Damn this video is dope
Hi I can’t found I have w212 estate 2013
Can you help me????
Where did u buy that ? Great vid !
Ebay. I’m not sure if it’s still available for sale.
Thx for the videos. I watch them as I upgrade my CLA 250 with the same parts
Would this light and the one for the front fit up to a 1999 Mercedes e320?
Don’t know. I only know mods for my car.
Works on my e320 2004
Is there any other place to buy the emblem?
Flex so all I gave to do is tap into the wire or light fixture itself ?
Yeh. I just tapped into my brake light wire. The star doesn’t use a lot of power so it doesn’t really screw anything up.
@@TheFlexxGarage thanks for your response. I enjoy watching your videos for ideas.
I have the star for the front and rear, how much would you charge to install?
I make videos. I don’t do installs or work on peoples cars. Call around and I bet you’ll find a shop who can do it. It’s not hard of an install.
Where did you find the rear led star emblem?
Which type of reverse light you use?
Don’t remember. I have a video on them with details on my channel.
can i use it on W210 ?
Any car as long as it fits
now do lighted licance plate letters please.
Where can I purchase this?

You have a shop i can bring my benz ya do this mods for me
I don't know. I'm just a youtuber. The only shop I know that does mods like my mods is Boston Mechanics LLC in Norwood, MA.
I'll give you three hundred if u come to Pennsylvania and install mine, went to a Mercedes benz dealer and they wouldn't touch it.
