How is the brightness of the star? This is one of the only options I did not get on mine. My CLA had the star but it was not very bright at all. Is this one any better?

Thinking of buying the part and upgrading.

Absolutely can, yes. I am planning to do so but the best price is have gotten so far is 400, wondering what others have paid.

Thee are DIY videos for the CLA which I am certain will be almost an identical install.

This might be a stupid question but, I have the illuminated star option on my GLE, but im not sure if its on when im driving. I know that it's on when my lights are on and im parked, but i have no idea when im driving, because i dont see the reflections off bumpers in front of me. Is it just really dim?

I just ordered from MB and it's $750 for them to install total. I really like the option but someone told me on another post I might get keyed! Hope that's not true I really like it but maybe some don't like that option!
Opinions on the star?!?
