I looked around and even the chinese DIY guys don't think those rear vents are worth it.

There isn't a mod currently available for those rear vents online.
Was just searching around online for other stuffs and i happen to see this picture. Unfortunately i did not managed to find the source of the vents, but this pic clearly shows someone might be selling or have modified to fit.

Looks fake. Rear vents on W205 share one vent knob in the middle.

Please let us know if you do and post. I would really love to add the LED Burmester as well, and wondered how well these would work.

but now with these turbine vents, you close them by twisting the vent itself, thus the knob is not needed.

It could jolly well be a set, which installs the 2 vents with the panel together.

Yes, but couldn't replace the entire back ventilation trim including the knob.

Nice try at photoshop tho.

Those look bigger than the rear vents on the W205. Plus they have the knob for the airflow cutoff, so curious if the new style would even work without modification.

Really interested in seeing how those LED mid speakers work out. Only thing is I need two and not four.

The entire rear housing needs to be changed to fit these vents. With these turbine fans, you twist them to close/open the airflow..... so the knob is actually not needed.

I might only install the rear illuminated mid speaker covers. (are you reading my mind?)

I've seen many pictures with led speaker covers installed in the front and combined with the illuminated vents and illuminated tweeters and it looked like overkill. Way too much light.

See here:

I will see how it looks when I get them. (i might sell two)

I don't have the illuminated tweeters, so the mids for me wouldn't be overkill IMO. I have an E Cab, so those covers would fit my car just as well as a C....I hope. I believe the diameters are the same so that shouldn't be an issue.

Yes, those are aftermarket tweeters. My car already had the 3 color ambient light package so this made the install easier. Most sellers also have plug and play 64 color kits if you already have the 64 color ambient package.

Unfortunately, I have no information on what they send you if you don't have the factory ambient package.

How much brighter is your vehicle's interior now? Did you notice a significant difference? I'm annoyed with the brightness and 3 color lighting in my C class.

Annoyed because it's not bright enough or way TOO bright? The levels go from 5, down to OFF so it can't be the later.

I would say its just right, all its needs is some led speaker covers in back for balance. The DOT probably has some regulation on how bright the inside of any vehicle can be.

You don't want to look like a moving nightclub

True, but the E-class and S-class have unparallelled ambient lighting. It's barely noticeable on the C-classes, even at 5. I just want something I can actually notice. It might have to do with how it looks on my red leather, but still, not a fan of how dull it is.
