A205 C Class Cabriolet
Cool C Class Cabriolet 2016 Illuminated Star installation help!

Hi all,

This is my first time posting on this forum! Thanks in advance for all the help! I've bought an illuminated star and having trouble to hook up to the DRL lights, I prefer having the illuminated star runs exactly how the DRL's working, but I can't seemed to find a way or fuse that connects to the DRL, has anyone able to help please?

The fuse box's photo taken and attached! Thanks in advance!

Hi Antigeek,

Thanks for the reply!! I'm just a little confused as i looked into the fuse box, seems look different to the C Sedan / Coupe one. I will post more photos when I can take a look at the fuse box again! But thanks so much for the reply, its been taking me some time to find the right fuse to connect to!

Agreed - even my coupe is slightly different from the sedan pics in the how-to.
Still, the place to put the fuse and clip was the same, and it works fine.

I never did see a setup where it would work when the DRLs are on -- they only work when the headlights are on. And after a month of having it, I think having it on with the DRLs is pointless -- you won't see it. The light is a surround, so there's very little facing forward; I can't even see it in the reflection from a vehicle in front of me at a stop.
