illuminated star for the 2008 Cls550

looking for an illuminated star for my c219
please please please if anyone can help me with this i would greatly appreciate it
i know this is an old thread but,
ive searched everywhere on this forum and asked Ebay sellers as well as Amazon...Ive even tried searching Youtube but i’ve yet to find an answer
im looking for an illuminated star for my 2008 Cls550
every star ive found says its for a different or newer model
my star doesn’t twist out so i have to remove the grill to access it which ive done and the procedure is simple enough
(removing the star from the grill however...PITA!! but definitely doable) i haven’t tackled that yet as i still haven’t found an illuminated star to replace the OEM one with and i only want to mess with those plastic tabs ONCE
ive measured my OEM star and its a lilttle over 6 1/2 inches wide (havent measured depth) im comfortable with the wiring and what i would need to do to get it lit all the time or only with headlights-no issues there...my only question is has anyone with an 08 Cls550 done this procedure? which star did they purchase? if there isn’t an exact fit im also comfortable doing MINOR alterations to make it work if anyone has instructions on whats involved...or also if a whole new grill was or needs to be ordered that’s compatible with the 08 Cls550 that WOULD fit an illuminated star thats being offered by Ebay or Amazon??
puhhhh leeeeez!!!! anyone help!! even if the answer is just a mere, “sorry kid... trade up for a newer model and envy the other guys til you do”... ill take it lol but searching to no avail and seeing pics of everyone else’s illuminated stars has driven me crazy
thanks in advance to anyone out there willing to read all this and an even more special thank you to anyone who tries to reaolve this issue with me!!! You guys rock and this is an awesome community!!!
