Got them from a local vendor he had them in stock. Plenty of those on Ali Express make a search for W205 LED air vents.

Thanks! I found the 7 piece (5 for front, 2 for rear) for ~$70 USD.

What are your thoughts on it? Do you see any color difference between the OEM ambient lighting and the vents?

Good price. It will give you a similar color to OEM. Are you installing them yourself.

LOL, right! I'm working my exterior now, but I'll get to the inside eventually. I like to do most of my mods myself, so I'm more held back by having the available spare time to do stuff. I already have a pile of body parts in my office to install, ha.

For interior lighting, I'm looking to doing the door trims, footwells, console, passenger dashboard and vents in 64 color.

This is a good looking kit. As always, looking good dude!

Oh, and you're a bad influence by sharing this, lol.

Is this compatible with OEM 3 color ambient lighting? 2017 C300.

EDIT: Nevermind, I guess this kit gives you ambient lighting if you didn't have it already. There is an 'upgrade' kit that takes you from 3 to 64 colors, but I'm not really interested in that. I was just looking for the 5x front vents and 2x rear vents and was curious to see how installation goes if you have the OEM 3 color ambient lighting already.

I guess your right 64 colours is a lot. The idea is to have these 7 air vents to obtain additional lighting within the car.

yes we sell front and rear vents with module that is compatible with your 3 color from factory. It will sync with your factory 3 colors.

Where to plug aftermarket ambient AC vents W205

Hi

I have a quick question for those who have 3 colour ambient lights from factory. If I buy 3 colour aftermarket AC vents, where do the plug the harness that comes out of the AC vents? Is there a OEM ambient light module in the centre console where these wires have to be plugged.

Thank you.

Correct, there is module for ambiant light in the center console. I bad it installed by a the vendor who offered free installation. I also replace the rear vents. It took him like 4 hours. I dont think its a DIY job.

Thank you.

Do you have a picture of it? And will it accept the plugs from the aftermarket AC vents as is?

I have opened and closed by centre console and dash 15 times in the last 3 days. I do not remember any socket into which the AC Vent plug will fit.

My vendor is unresponsive. Bought the kit from ebay. The seller hasn't responded even once after I bought the items.

Thanks once again Andy74

Hi have a look on the link below see if you can figure out where is he connecting the harness to.

Another idea is to take the console to your nearest dealer and ask where is the ambient light connector. It is frustrating when you buy something but you are not able to enjoy it.
