trailer lights
Hello, I just bought a 2018 GLC300 for my wife. My first MB. Very nice driving car and so far she likes it more than the Lexus that got totaled several weeks ago. Luckily no one was injured. I ordered a hitch for the car. I am not planning to do any towing, but she uses it to bring the trash can down the driveway, and occasionally we need it for something else. The light kit that etrailer sent will not fit my car as mine has the premium 3 package. Anyone dealt with this before? I am not crazy about splicing into the harness as the wires are very light. I would prefer plug and play. I may just wait a while and see if someone makes a kit for my application in the future. The dealer said they send cars to Uhaul for hitches and lights. Not sure if I want them hacking into the harness! Any thoughts? Thank you.

The last summer, I install this part for the trailer light and it's work good

The more difficulty is to connect on the wire of the light, It requires removing the right and left rear lights for connect the wires.

Me I use this doc for make my installation, because the color code is include:

It's not a plug and play, but I think it's work with the Premium 3 package because you have just some more sensor, not more light. I thing it's just more complicated for install the hitch (for remove bumper), because you have some more sensor on bumper.

Thanks Frandumont, that color code may be useful if I end up going with a splice kit. I already have the hitch installed, that was pretty easy. No hurry for trailer lights, so I am going to give it some time to see if someone makes a kit in the near future. I believe the difference in the premium kit is different connectors at the tail lights among the other stuff.

I believe you will find the PWM module for your GLC300 here:

The new generation "spliceless" is specifically PWM compatible - with "spliceless" you make direct battery hookup to the module - the sensors create no interference or capacitance changes to your rear wiring at all ....... another bonus is the whole "spliceless" rig is transferable to your next vehicle .. no worries ..

You won't have any warranty problems with MB on a correct installation of the Spice-In Modulite - but if you muck up the Modulite install - or have Modulite problem down the road (and Modulite is very reliable) you will need a hitch/trailer specialist fix it for you - MB dealer won't be able to help.
Frankly - for like $160 more - I love the "spliceless" since I can always move it over to my next vehicle
