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.
haha thank you so much, I have got a new set of vents and handles coming in and doing another install. I want to show the difference between when you have annoying quality for money vs good quality for money.
@@mrgccwhere did you get the good vents that you bought?
wow this is amazing! the result is worth the work! love the in detail videos
Thank you so much, yeah it was a lot of work but with the love and support I get its all worth it. ❤
This is sick bro you're a talented guy
Thank you bro, I also just watched your recent video. Good to finally see you back on TH-cam! About time!!!
@@mrgcc hi bro can you do my Mercedes c class 350e let me know thank you give me your number please I live in Birmingham
you helped me a lot for selfmade. You inspired me and after 15 hours I finished the work ... little problems with the closing system after installation, but I found a solution.
Looks terrific! I've got an A-Class and would love this.
Get in touch with me on Instagram if you like and we can make it happen!
@@mrgcc where are you located?!
Doesn’t the A class already have ambient lighting?
@@juelz4516 Older models have small amounts but its nothing special
This looks really really good
Thank you so much mate.
Just ordered the facelift CLA coupe AMG line executive. Extremely excited for my first car. It's a less so that's why I can afford it
Bro, you’re sick I’d be getting in touch once I pick up mine👍🏼
Thank you bro, appreciate that. Sure let me know when you are ready!
Nice! It looks like a Stripclub!
I would love to have my own garage and do things like this without neighbours looking at you😅
My brother God bless you and your loved ones wherever you are 🤲.
I watched the entire video by the second because I just loved the way how carefully and safely you were working on that merc.
Now I wanna have them lights installed on my car 😁
Therefore I need your help with that… 🙏
I own a ML250 bluetec and I live in London.
So my 2 questions are:
Can that be done and can you do work on my car if so?!
Also how can I reach you?
Respect ✊ bro
Arian…
Your videos are pure entertainment
"Just pop that in the hole", "Me trying to force this in right now its just becoming so tight in there", "Aahh that feels so much better now" ,"Aaaaaaa my gosh!"
yes I'm childish
So what if a cla doesn’t come with color changing ambient lights, how would the color changing vents work with the screen if the car didn’t come with the color changing ambient lighting package from the factory?
Excellent work clean wish you were in the U.S!!
Thank you so much. I wish I could just fly over and do installs for others but sadly can't.. 😅
Really good job
Thank you! I'm glad you like it
@@mrgcc welcome bro 🙏🙏
It's the support like this that helps me keep going 👍🙏
just purchased my CLA, do you do installs? would love to get mine done by you!
Brilliant video enjoyed interesting fantastic work looks amazing 👍
Thank you! Its a lot of hours and hard work to get it there but always happy to say I manage to get it done haha!
This video helped me out bro thanks so much and god bless you
Hi dude amazing to find a video of exactly what I want to do!
Would love a list of all parts I need to do the same if you don’t mind bro.
Thanks 🙏
Best work I loved the work you done
Thank you so much 😀 All your support is appreciated! If you think your friends will like it please share and get them to subscribe haha
It was me that came with the mistibushi Outlander
amazing you able to do other cars
thank you so much, and yep can do indeed
Watched this w/a friend here in the U.S. and both impressed w/your work; we’ll search for someone to get these installed on our 2014s… what’s the manufacturer of this kit, please? Thanks for sharing..
Thank you thank you for sharing ❤
Great job 👍👍👍👍
Nice work! How do you activated the control light in the original screen? I have a A200 w176 and I want do the same work! Thanks man!
Bump
Great vid thanks for your help ☺️
Would this possible for 2013/2014 CLA model?
Why wouldn’t it be? It’s the same exact everything as this car
Looks amazing. I want mine done. Would you do it for me? If so how much do you charge?
Hi Oscar, yeah sure no problem, are you able to get in touch via Instagram with me?
Awesome bro
Nice vid your are really motivated are you going to install the invenite display this year?
Amazing 👍👍👍👍👍
Is it possible to install this kit, if I have my car without any original lights ambient?
Yep it is possible, you just need to code the car for the vents, the other lights are universal so nothing extra needed for that.
@@mrgcc thanks dear! 🥰💪🏻
No problem!
Hello, thank you for this video.
I would like to know can we power the LEDs directly on the lighting at foot level? no problem ? thank you
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?
Please do content on how to fix headliner in cla 250
can you explain how this ambient lighting connects/shows up to the centre console andif it's possible without replacing the vents?
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
hello mr gcc, pretty work I'm from France your video inspires me a lot I would like to know where I can order the whole installation for a class a 2014? is still beautiful work
Hello, I’m in Houston Texas how can I get this installed to my 2018 cla 250?
You can order the kits and either find someone local to you or follow my video and give it a try yourself mate.
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.
I hv a 2015 CLA now I need to find somebody here in Italy that can do this 😫😫😫 I’m obsessed
ahh man, well I would always come and do it if you paid for my flight haha
58:33 do it really looks white on corner of ambient lighting or it's just because of camera?
no its more the camera, but it does have a little more "light" in those corners because of the way everything is installed. Its not something you notice as much when actually using the lights
The module you connected to the cigarette lighter only gives you power so how do the vents light up with the cars ambient light
Wow! Awesome!
Where are you situated? I wanna bring my car to you.
Hi amazing job ¡¡ congratulations ¡¡¡ . Please I need help with remove the console / set central of the car . How i can remove the down central console the near of the seat ?? . Not front console . Thanks ¡¡¡
Hey Mr GCC did you drill a hole into the left air vent to fit the second ambient light for the center piece or is there enough space to fit the optic cable through ?
I’m about to buy the CLA 2021, with premium plus. But do i get same lightning In the premium plus or does this Light kit In your video, offer more lights? :)
@Mr GCC I’m looking at doing my CLA please, I need to do the vents, star ⭐️ lights please, how much we looking at please including vents please..
Nice job bro let me know if u get anyone wanting to do ambient lights or star light near Manchester 👍💫✨
You have inspired me to do this for my cla45 AMG would really appreciate any inputs you can offer
Hello friend, have you installed the lights in your car? How can you control the color with the car screen?
I’m interested in getting this done on my 2017 GLA250. I’m in AZ, do you have any suggestions as to someone who could help me with the install out here or do you have any advice on me doing it myself?
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?
How much for the kit and how much would you. Harte to install?
Can you get in touch with me on Instagram to discuss further?
Hi this is nice what light would I get for my a class 2017 plate to do the same as the video 😁
Hi,is it possible to get wires from the front door to the inside of the car through a bent hose? Mercedes cla
The lights in the description box the eBay ones include the vents?
So sorry for that, I have updated the description to have the vents in. Thanks for letting me know!

Very nice work. One question ... are the fans synchronized with the lights?
So the vent lights are synchronised with the cars original ambient lighting yep
@@mrgcc so with the original mercedes w176 light package I can control both the existing leds and the led strips and the air vents installed later?
Why ambiance and vent lights are not the same connection
Very nice 👌 how much do you charge to fit Mercedes cla
Sadly, this product does not shipping to my country..

Dove posso acquistare questo tipo di ambient light per Mercedes classe b w246
How do you Get the full set of colours om the car screen? Do you install a code or?
If you put the ignition on, does the light turn on or do you need to turn it on via the light switch?
For this install it turns on when the car I on. Other installs I have done when it only turns on with the lights. I.e. only at night time
Ay my G where you from. Only South Africa and England cars have a right hand side.
Im from England mate, you?

th-cam.com/video/HhZgORggnUc/w-d-xo.html
Amazing work! Is there anything that can be done to dim the light at the outer end of the ambient tube? It's way too bright at the ends I can't hide it under or in any panel.
Thanks in advance.
Why are u skipping the blue colour on the ambient control at the end ???? 59.40 Also looks like the video was edited at the end to purposely skip that blue
Blue vents and blue lines would of looked OK all blue something doesn't seem right at the end of this video

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
Hi mate, this is something that could be linked to a few things. Check fuses, I think the a class has a fuse for the rear doors. Another thing. Check the module is there is one in the rear door (I can't remember if it's there on the car)
@@mrgcc thank you I managed to get it sorted, basically what happened the wires ended up touching each other which caused the fuse to blow so I just changed it.
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
