I like mine better.
1) Buy the star, plug, and 2 lead wires from dealer for about $250
2) Unplug right headlight.
3) Splice grey wire (Parking lights) on plug
4) Wire +ve end of star to spliced grey wire
5) Ground the star.

No dash errors? I am surprised.

I might buy a led strip and add install it below the detachable star on my new Ebay w204 sport grille.

Nope, it's running great. I did try to wire it to my DRLs before, but the star did not light up fully.

Some ebay grills use different sized stars, so I would watch out for that if you want to get the OEM illuminated star.

Well, the grill in the photo doesn't have a detachable star (back) housing so I can't use a real MB illuminated star.

it's ebay waterproof led strips for me.

Plus, not paying $385 for a real MB led star.
