LED Star Mod??

Hi All;
Just noticed gorgeous Mercedes LED star emblems on eBay, but they do not appear to be compatible the w211 or w219 chassis.
https://www.ebay.com/i/322119535963?chn=ps&dispItem=1
Has anyone successfully done this mod, and if so, what part did you purchase?
Thank you very much in advance!

W211s look like dog**** when they have a star in the grill.

That's good feedback actually. I didn't see the LED stars that could fit the w211 though? Do you think the LED stars will look like dog**** on the w219 as well?

I'm not talking about that one in particular. There are other grills out there for the W211 with a star and they look like dog****. It doesn't fit with the car.

I think the star grill looks fine on the W219 since that's how they came from the factory.

I can't stand seeing the stupid LED star on the newer MB... it looks so tacky it blows my mind that it can be a factory option with MB. If they would have made it look like the star it would actually look good. As it sits now when you drive up on one or one is behind you by 10 feet it just looks like a deformed orb of light. Which really is mind numbing knowing that the newer headlights with the led bars and this and that look sooooooo nice from Mercedes they go and **** it up with the stupid illuminated star.

And on top of what was said, the star grills for w211's look awful as well. They do NOT flow at all.
