LED emblems- front and back

Just installed LED lights front and back. I can manually switch them off if I want to be a little less inconspicuous.

Looks good! Not sure if I am a fan of the rear illuminated emblem. Love to see a night shot to see how it looks. the front looks pretty sweet especially with the diamond grill.

So what lights/LEDs do you have in the lower front grills? And what are the red circles on the bottom of the rear bumper??

Not a fan off the rear emblem lit,no idea why as I have the front one fitted myself along with the diamond grill and it looks great in my view, like the lower led look but not a fan of the wrap on the lower spoiler in the centre if I as gonna cover is cover it all but each to there own ! It's your car !

I've never seen a rear illuminated emblem on a Mercedes Benz before
If the light was white like the the front one, it would have looked better.

I like those LEDs that are on the front bumper
Do you know where I could get them?

I highly doubt it does they are painted to begin anyway so another layer will make no difference I'd say.
Maybe the owner will confirm that as well.

None of that is for me, sorry. Personally I think it cheapens the look.

Sometimes less is more and personally I think it's a bit much. But if you like it, that's all that matters.

Thanks for your comments/suggestions. The front bumper LEDs are from my recent trip to China- $20 light strips. Wiring was easy, mounting was a pain- basically had to silicone glue them in place. The red dots are simply reflective stickers I had left over from my motorcycle. I will probably remove them. The parking sensors are non functional, I only have the rear camera option.

Siliconing the lights on ...Eek ! Having looked at it further I think it's looks better without them it's a bit overload and I think the illuminated star is enough and your DRL's on.
It's personal taste tho so if your happy that's all that matters.
Just remember to stop at some point hahaha!

its really how the whole package comes together. The goal should always be for it to look like factory could have done it. keep in mind the more pieces you try to include , the harder it is to make sure they all play nicely together.

I think it's too much. Now, I'm a guy who always likes to improve things, but like somebody said, at one point, we need to stop so that the car doesn't look like a joke. I think the front LED killed the beautiful arc DRLs. Also, I've researched the look of the lighted front emblem, and personally, I don't think it makes the car look better. I think it makes it less classy IMO.

2020, did you happen to be driving your car around Atlanta on Friday night near club opera? I happened to see a black C-class with the same lighting drive by while in the area.

Actually I just found the read LED online, how did you link it up? TO the brake light? i mean it must have been a pain in the *** to wire it considering there is no line in the trunk lid..
