Just completed this little project on my new GLC300 2023 in regard to missing LED air vents, very satisfied with the final product.
Looks very nice. Can you post a few night pics?
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 ))
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 :
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 !!!

Interesting, everyone else does the very cliche A-Class/E-Class turbine vent style ones ,yet you chose the R232 SL style ones, what prompt u to thought of that idea? Very different, in a good way.
Also, can you explain how did you pull wires and where the power coming from especially for rear's 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)
