@benzdude Can you provide installation instructions for the wires coming off the vents? The supplied instructions provided by the supplier are terrible.

My unit has two wires with pin connectors, on bare ground and one with a connector as pictured.

I see three wires. Brown is usually ground. Orange wire is yellow color at 12 volt and white wire is blue color at 12 volts.

You can test with a simple 9 volt battery.

If you have factory 3 color ambient just splice into existing 3 wires.

Yes, I have the 3 colour ambient light option on my '16 C450.

What I believe this photo is saying is:
1. Remove pin 1 and pin 13 front the factory harness and plug them into the connector of the turbine vents.
2. Replace the wires removed in the last step with the two from the turbine vent wire harness.

Does that sound right?

No idea. I just cut into my ambient wires and added connectors.

Can you provide installation instructions for the cables coming out of the vents? The instructions provided by the provider are terrible.

illuminated aerators installation

Hello to see who can help me,
is related to the installation of the illuminated aerators,
I'm going to mount them but I don't know how or where I have to connect them so they light up.
My car has no factory ambient light, I put them later, so in this case, where do I have to connect the aerators? My cables are 3 (white, brown and orange), the center console connect it to the blue plug under the steering wheel (orange wire to pin 1 and white to pin 13) and to the taillights (pull a wire to plug the orange pin 27 and white pin 28 to the yellow connector) so where do I have to connect the front aerators? I also don't know where to connect the rear ones.
