It's really hard to tell. We are going to need some more pics on the car, maybe from about 8 feet away, from front and front/side angle...

I'm going to get some more pictures Monday because the shop is closed on Sunday. I'm also going to have some nighttime shots along with some pictures further back as you suggested.

I have seen this on couple cars and they all looked silly and pretentious in the dark.

But... If you like it - that is all that matters.

Take a pic in the garage with the door closed and the STAR lit up?

Honestly I bought the car with the body kit installed prior to the purchase but the rocker panels/side skirts and fenders are both Lorinser. The front and rear bumper may be Lorinser also but I'm not for certain. This is my first Benz and I ahve been upgrading it since it shipped to my home in February of 2013.

The GL looks great bro.... I can't wait to get some night time pictures so I can see the star's true brilliance on the S550. This thing is awesome though and I can only wish I was home to enjoy it. I'm currently in Afghanistan so my father takes care of any upgrades I request and sends me pictures after the project is done.

Help wiring the center led star

How do I wire the center led star on my installed grill. Is there an easy way? Could I do it myself? Any tips would be appreciated. I have a 2013 S550 without distronic. I like the new grill and wa t to see how the led star looks.
