For the ground I connected it to the bolt just in front of the fuse box under the hood. Use a ring connector to slip it easily onto the bolt.

As for the power, I used a fuse tap and plugged it into fuse slot 23. Make sure you use a full sized ATO tap.

See the below photos for the location of the ground.

Is the after market an exact fit for you? I tried to install mine but it left some space in between and not exactly all the way in.

Installing my star

i bought some quick splicers and want to connect them to the headlights to install my star. first off is this a good idea and second i can't get the wiring unplugged from the headlights, can i still connect it as long as the cars off without unplugging?

I read some people just tapped a fuse instead of splicing into a wire.Usually the fuse that is for the headlights.

I think tapping it on the side marker is better than the headlight.

Corrected..At first I thought it looked tacky but after a while I grew to like the led star.The soft white one looks more OEM though.

Price gone down....

Using the full size fuse tap for MB in fuse slot 23 as suggested. I get nothing... Using a battery to verify the MB light works but nothing with the fuse tap in slot 23. I'm questioning 23 for 15' GLK350 and not willing to try other fuse slots w/o more help. Thanks!
