BTW that's not plug and play. You will need to do some soldering.
Pro Tip you can test the leds before installing using a 9 volt battery, brown wire should be ground (-). blue = blue light (+), orange = orange light (+) I assume.
Chinese DIY skill level is high, so "plug and play" could mean soldering required.
Also, If you look at Torbenks photos, that black wiring harness connector doesn't fit any MB plug near the center console. Good Luck
The seller tells me that it plugs between the plugs of the OEM ambient light, so you should not solder anything. Hence plug and play. Of course you need to remove some screws and so on, but come on...
And actually I think the plug will fit in my retrofitted ambilight.

I've done ambient 3d tweeters, ambient mid speakers and all ambient vents on my car and the sellers always say "should fit standard Mercedes plug", but they never do. Maybe i didn't look in the right places?
Also, the soldering was not a big deal because i only had 3 wires to figure out.

Why would you cut these plugs when the harness is plug and play?
The plugs from the passenger side ambient light will fit the plugs you show in the photo!
Yes, as I said, all the Chinese ambient kits I received came with those black connectors, but I never found were they would plug in, so I cut them off and made my own connection to the Mercedes wires.
Let me know if you find where they go and I will kick myself.

Here. Go kick yourself.
Clearly you did not read the instructions
OMG! Please don't tell me you did that whole PDF. Oh Man, that's a lot of work.
BTW, That kit is for a car with no factory ambient package from Mercedes. My car already has factory ambient leds in the console, along the doors, in the ash tray, foot-wells, roof light, etc
Also, You can clearly see that you need to insert the big blue plug into the door controller #6 port (that's where my 3d ambient tweeter is tapped) and the console lights get power from inserting those pins into an already existing Mercedes door harness.
So NO KICKING Needed.
The good news is if you've already done this complicated install on your car then YES, you will have a 3 pin Chinese black connector in your console to tap into.
Otherwise, no original Mercedes factory ambient connector will work.
Got mine today... product is ok but its without connector so no plug and play at all...
Its not rocket science but on this car I wanted to keep all electricity oem and now ill have to cut my cable tree and add an other connector as I also need to be able to disconnect this thing if needed in the future
