Light Up Emblem
Does anyone have any advice or know how to go about making our front emblem light up?
I did a search for "emblem retrofit", "light up emblem", etc and couldn't find any info. Any help would greatly be appreciated.

Did some quick research. Our emblem seems to be the same part no as a few other more "common" mercedes. A0008880111. Theres a whole bunch on ebay and amazon. Found this one up top with overall good ratings. Just have to ask for correct size.
By the way your wing is sick. Any info on that wing and those fender louvers?

Quick research tells me no, but I saw a guy use 12v el wire on his distronic star. See post #8 on below link.

This is all super helpful. I had no clue there were so many options out there.
I'm leaning toward this one which is a twist emblem and in theory, should work right?

I have a 2020 GTRA and saw the pic of the GTS with the lit Star and liked it.. During a visit to the dealership I talked to the shop foreman about the possibility.. by chance there was a new GLS SUV on the floor and it had the LED ring of lights in the Star and the GLS had distronics...The size of the Star looked similar to the Star on a AMG GT/C setting close by.. His main concern was how the Star was mounted indicating that he knew of two different methods.. He has not gotten back to me but I will reach out to him again..

@mastermayhm I ordered it and what I got in the mail did not look like what was online. I have returned already. The search for a light-up emblem continues sadly.
@SLcruzen That sounds promising! Please keep me posted!

Thinking about getting the GLS light-up emblem from the dealership and taking it to a specialty installer to have them "rig it". It's the right size but from what I've heard the functionality would need to be altered.
I like the idea of it looking stock and still classy which might cost more but it's worth it in my mind.
