Ambient lightning air vents on 2023
Just completed this little project on my new GLC300 2023 in regard to missing LED air vents, very satisfied with the final product.

Also, can you explain how did you pull wires and where the power coming from especially for rear's vents.
Where did you get the kit and what is in it ?
Total time to complete this project?
Sorry for many questions, Im thinking about this from day one when I bought our car, 4 years ago still thinking ))

I purchased the kit from ebay ( For Mercedes Benz X253 GLC300 Coupe GLC43 64 Colors Ambient Light Air Vent 7pcs | eBay )
Rear vents installlation video :
(use the info on this video for the power)
Passenger side door power video :
Remove both side (driver & passenger) air vent : I did not use any specific tool, I used a small cord (x2) and pass it through the center core of the original air vent (then pull hard), used the same procedure for the passenger front vent.
Setup & install both new side vents video:
Remove center console video :
Install all the wiring from drivers side, center console and then passenger side :
I will include night pictures.

Power to the new air vents : in my case, on my blue connecter there was a Chinese label, I contacted the seller so that he can translate the label (in my case it said to connect to passenger side door module).
Careful : when adding the 3 pin wire to both side connecters (follow the video) make sure the female wires are fully pushed in and at the proper location, same for the male (3 pins), final product (both sides match), always double check this !!!

Love the look of the R232 SL style ones, why do the same as everyone else, next mod the quad dual tail pipes diffuser (another nice project).
contact me if you have any questions for the air vents

- I used a couple of long tie wraps tapped together
Total time to complete this project?
- aprx. 4-5 hours (hooking up the 3 pin wires in the passenger door took the longest), you need to open up the connector (takes a little time to figure out how)
I included a couple of pictures

where the power coming from especially for rear's vents.
Included with the kit, you will find a longer cable, this is the cable used for the rear air vents which then connects to the main power and front air vents.
