Jtanoyo1,
Nice led install. I seen the pics of the puddle lamps when you got them, but does it come with any more wiring for the kit? If not then how did you wire them up.....

No offense to either you or Ken, but how is my LED kit any less of a "real deal" than Ken's?


Tim: The wires that came with the kit are a simple black (-) and red (+) wires. You can use any readily available wires to extend them as how you like them. I have mine hooked up to the dome light so that when I close the door, the LED would fade out slowly. Pretty nifty.

There's also no need for a DIY cause there's really nothing to it: Drill holes, silicone glue the LED base, wire up to a source, light it up, adjust.

Hey Jon how did you wife it into your dome light?

1st step how do you get the wires from the bottom of the car inside it.
2nd step how/where do you run them in order to get them to the dome light.

Thanks Nice mod as always

Good questions. I will ask the shop about it when I go over there this weekend. I've gotten lazy and stopped doing my own mods these days...

Thanks jtanoyo1, I just got a good deal on the Brabus led lights. Did your set come with any pics of the setup or instructions. Since the Brabus set has the Pos and Neg wires for each light only, how did you hook all ten wires together, since water is a factor at connector areas under the car, by the way my set is gonna go on the SC. Got to get a second job hanging out with you guys I also attached a pic for another aftermarket type, that comes with a wiring harness if anyones interested, Ebay item under (Mercedes Led), these are Not the Brabus...

The pic you posted only show a single LED bulb at each point. I am not sure how bright that's going to be. Mine has 5 LED bulbs at each point, thus it's really bright.
