I have a 2018 GLE350(W) with the Iluminated Star.
The Star only comes on with the ignition. Here is where it is wired into the fuse block(See circled 5amp fuse).
I want the Star to come on with the parking lights........ie-turn on when you unlock the car.
Where can I find a diagram of my fuses so I can tie into the parking lights? I have spent all afternoon looking at my manual and searching online.
I think you are preaching to the wrong crowd. You need to park your self in the dealer sales managers office and ask him to show you the seven fuse locations in your car.
I mapped out and tested each fuse location noting those that came on when you unlocked the car or open the door.
Found one location without a fuse holder in it so it made relocation easy. Star now lights when you unlock or open the door. After you close the door or lock the car the Star turns off about 30 seconds after the parking lights go off.
New to Mercedes, the relocation is somewhat hard to visual how it was done.
How did you move the fuse exactly, did the wiring going to the fuse have to be re-routed as well?
Also, to add other circuits, such as front fog/driving lights that I'd like to do, is another fuse and holder (like the one circled) needed?

I followed your guide and the light is working great. Thanks for the tip. One thing though... I noticed on my house cameras last night that beginning at 12:00am until 12:30am, the light turns on every minute for about 12 seconds, and then shuts off. Very weird. Every minute at exactly :36 seconds, it would come on. I wonder what exactly that slot is for. Did you ever find out?

I just bought 2018 GLE 350 and purchased LED star from EBAY. I will try and update
For future reference. I was in my rear seat fuse box the other day because my mistake. I put the wrong fuse in the wrong slot (I was 1 slot over). When I did my temp control cupholder repair. I discovered there is a paper folded up under the rear seat on the side of the fuse box with the fuse diagram for all the fuse box location inside the vehicle.
