Hi buddy it’s a great question actually! First of all the diamond grill for the GLE350/450/amg63 won’t fit our MLs cuz l have tried that a couple months ago only if you want to upgrade to the facelift kit for the GLE63 like l did from China ! And for the diamond grill was made for the GLEs style only and there is a seller on Alibaba.com that l deal with has the GT grill and 3D star emblem for great price for that both made for our MLs . Again ther is no diamond grill that fits ML
l hope this will be helpful for you.

Regards . Sam.w

Yes, I mean. But may the grill itself have the same shape, but its perception is different? because on the other side I read that it passes, only its perception has to be done. Dou you understand ?

The Diamond Grill was made for the GLEs kind only and the GLE and ML not the same because l did the same and bought the diamond style for my ML and it was wider and the pins was different than the ML style then l ordered the GT grill and actually loos much better than the diamond

Thank you bro, i just recently buy xenon headlights to upgrade my 2014 ml350 regular hologram headlights. Do you know of anyone who have a Mercedes star diagnostics scanner that can recode my vehicle to work with ILS? ☹

try doing online programming. It should solve it. I had an issue with window wipers. They would not work!

Evgen, great looking mods. I’m trying to do this to my 2014 ml. Two questions.

1. Did you change the hood and fenders to the GLE to accommodate the different size of the LED headlights?

2. Did you use OEM MB body parts?

Thanks and looks great.

Reverse light wires

Hi there mate please can you help me out with any pics of location of the wires for reverse light s????


QUOTE=Evgenievich;7571356]it was easy. You buy new style plug for the outers lights, repin it. For reverse I found the 2 wires on the passenger side behind the light. Blue with white stripe, and ran 2 additional wires from there.

you will need either resisters or someone with vediamo(star diagnostics) to change the settings not to get error codes on the dash.


Does your mirror light work? How do you activate it?[/QUOTE]

To revive an old thread, can anyone sell me the parts required to upgrade my existing Bi-Xenon lights to the GLE-Era LED's?

From what I can decode from this thread, I will be needing the ballasts, assorted other parts and a wiring harness, plus the programming afterwards.

If anyone can provide these things, send me a PM or reply here and happy to talk shop.

I need help lol. I have done the conversion just looks bumper fenders hood and gle ils led lights. Now I need help with the hard part which is the electric and coding part. I ordered a wiring harness from ckm which should do the trick on the wiring end. I would like to hear from you how you went about in the wiring part. Finally and most importantly coding I have an idea how it works. Basically you change the parameters in each channel to the parameters in QR code provided in the headlights if im not mistaken. I guess on this part I would like to know if you used a real star diagnostic tool or you used a knock off did the trick. I ask because I will probably have to buy a knock off one just to do the coding because the real one is like 10k and it will be probably hard to get someone in the MB dealer to do the coding for me.
