New owner question

I've read a lot about the illuminated star and that a lot of the older owners find it arrogant or tacky.

I am a younger, new owner of a 2008 C300 sport sedan and I find it pretty cool.

I'm still new to the style and history of mercedes. I like tradition and want to stick with what MB is really all about, but at the same time it's shiny and I want one.

So I guess my question is..

Is it possible to install the illuminated star on an older model?

And should I?

TIA

Tia,

GOOD FOR YOU and CONGRATS! Everyone has different taste. I like nostalgic and traditional - but if the illuminated badging floats your boat then you SHOULD go for it. Personal taste and pride is in the eye of the beholder. Go for it!

Cheers

Thanks

I'll go for it. I want to really make it mine. Just don't know about compatibility between the parts.

Do you know of a place to check on that sort of thing?

Thanks In Advance (lol TIA)

E350
Hey I'm a new owner of an E350 and already have the illuminated star as a factory upgrade, however I was informed that the Eclass is only able to have the light on during parking and unlocking doors. Is this true? I would like to have the star illuminated while driving all the time. Any idea on how to do so?
