ILLUMINATED STAR / FUSE BOX HELP !!

Hey guys,

I was trying to connect an aftermarket illuminated star to my 2018 GLE and I'm not really sure where in the fuse box it gets corrected…I just did the aftermarket illuminated star on my C Class and that was super easy. This seems to be completely different and not sure where to connect it. I've attached a picture of my fuse box from under the hood. Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks !

SUPER easy to install, also.
It's a little brighter than the OEM star, but it looks great.

If you put the positive into slot 231 with a "bridged fuse", the illuminated light will only come on when the headlights ate turned on...
