I like it. I thought about it doing it to mine, but decided to hold off for a bit. I saw some on other MB models and it looked so so. I've seen them on new Infinitis and my goodness, those look awful. Probably because their logos are huge and the lit portion is literally the entire emblem, not just an outline.

Can you post more pictures in the complete dark? Did you do the install yourself? I know the official instructions say you have to tap into the SAM module, etc. I was reading online and some just say they tapped into the side marker wire in the front bumper instead.

I like also but for 500 bucks I will probably never do it.

I really like it. I got it from the dealer, whilst the car was getting a LSD service.

Parts was about $400 plus 2 hours labor. a little more than its really worth, but I just don’t have the time anymore to DIY.

More pics. As requested.

Darkest I could get. But with the LEDs and Low beams on. The camera doesn’t have a chance to focus. I’d say they do stand out. Any brighter and it might look a little (ironically) too cheesy/cheap.

plan on doing it when I move to CA. But we have cray new inspection laws in MA. So the bulbs are silver painted. But orange when lit.

Thanks for the tips on AZN optics!

Definitely not a fan of the illuminated star. But to each his own.

Any plans to black out the center chrome pieces? Would go great since the wheels are black, and also the 507 already comes with the blacked out LED cover. Although i'm not a fan of the Rudolph star (and it may be the picture) this one doesn't look all that bad. Can I ask why you wanted this done?
