Illuminating Star installation

Hi Guys

I am getting a few mods for my GLE coupe.
One is the illuminating star. Does anyone have experience installing it? Can anyone provide some instruction/help? Thanks in advance.

I had it installed on my E350 at J&R auto salon in Elgin 8476221455 Very reasonable and great work. I waited for it. Had them just hook up to fuse 23 under hood and had them install cut off switch under dash in case I do not want it on. They also installed XKKa Laser and difusser for me. everything works great.

I just bought the oem illuminated star. you do not need the other stuff they try and sell you such as a power distributer. Mine is direct hook up to fuse 23 under the hood. Every time you get in the car it goes on and stays on until you turn the car off. I had a switch installed in case I do not want it on. The best price from a dealer was at MB of Chicago down town. You should go on ebay and look for oem illuminated MB star. Then buy from the cheapest dealer in the USA.

Thank you
I am looking at some replica ones on Ebay. Just making sure all the wiring are the same.
