My local MB dealer has them in stock right now. And they will fit a variety of models . . . including a 2008 W204 standard C Class.

I don't understand why he said that they were rolling out initially with the 2014 CLA.

The product has been available for several months now.
Again, he and I was referring to factory installed. OP was making it seem like he had some rare factory installed illuminated star.

You guys are all bunch of fools.....everyone is a friggin expert

You were trying to be a smartazz, I am not an idiot. Don't chime in on topic where you have no clue what you are talkig about or if you have 2nd grade reading comprehension skills.

Then there are people like JRCart, he can be an ***, so can I, there have been plenty of heated arguments on the site between a myriad (your word of the day) of people. And no, I am not stating that you have to have 1000 posts and have been here for years. But when someone new randomly pops up and says something less than stellar about someones choices, that comes over as being a troll.

I don't take orders from you.

And I wouldn't chastise folks regarding their reading comprehension skills, considering that your last two posts are riddled with spelling errors, bad grammar, and run-on sentences.

This thread has turned into something just out of the first grade classroom. It sounds like:

"You're a doodie-head"

followed by the greatest comeback of all time

"I know you are, but what am I?"

jrcart, to be fair you did say they weren't an OEM MB part and my local dealer installed some ebay junk. You (or Vetter) did display a lack of knowledge...

Looks awesome! Thanks for taking the time to post up these shots.

Definitely interested in picking one up now after seeing those photos. Just wish it wasn't so expensive.

That actually looks much better than some of the previous pictures posted in this thread, other than the rendering.

I like it, looks good when I got my '13 coupe last year these weren't out yet, videos didn't start surfacing till I got my GLK several months later and I've been dying to see one in person before I purchase.

The illuminated star package should come with a white fedora, white sunglasses and a white belt. Maybe a Justin Bieber tshirt, too. They could put little rhinestone AMG logos on the belt and sides of the glasses.


Honestly, if you're going to put light up stuff on your car, expect to catch crap from other car guys. Just how it works, been doing this a long time.


I'm relatively new to the world of Mercedes, I've had plenty of other cars - the C63 AMG 507 is the first Merc that's blown me away. Seriously awesome car. Well, that and the SLS... I'd love to have an SLS, I just don't have that kind of coin laying around for a car.

You dont bother me whatsoever. We ovbiously disagree on what is ricer and what is a tasteful but bold OEM look, but aside from that I can tell a dbag when I see one.

My initial thoughts when I first saw the Mercedes-Benz marketing materials relating to the illuminated star, was that it was a silly accessory.

However I did see and E class and a CLA with the illuminated star on the road it's very subtle yet catches your eye it fades out towards the points on the star which looks pretty cool and in motion at night it's barely noticeablebut that hint of light is there and it's pretty damn cool I must say. I wouldn't mind trying it out just to see what it looks like.

But then again it's nearly a $400 accessory.

I saw it on an ML the other day, didn't really care for it. It doesn't look that bright on the road, almost like there is something wrong with the car. Not my cup of tea.
