Illuminated Upright Hood Star Emblem for Mercedes-Benz C-Class, S-Class, GLE, GLS & GLC – Plug-and-Play, No Coding

Give your Mercedes the iconic look of the latest S-Class with our Mercedes Illuminated Hood Star. This light-up hood ornament replaces your original upright star and glows with a clean, bright light at night, so your car stands out the moment you turn on your headlights.

• Looks just like the original: Both the 1st Gen and 2nd Gen share the same design as the factory Mercedes hood star
• Plug-and-play, no coding needed: Plugs directly into the driver-side headlight connector, with built-in coding, so no programming or wire cutting is required
• Bright, even glow around the star and the ring
• 2nd Gen can be customized: choose the color temperature, or a red or blue light
• Durable chrome finish that matches the factory look

1st Gen vs 2nd Gen
Both versions look just like the original Mercedes hood star, so it fits right in with your car’s design.

• 1st Gen ($279): Our original illuminated hood star with a white light. A great value upgrade.
• 2nd Gen ($400): Upgraded LEDs with a 6800K cool white color temperature, for our best brightness and finish.

See the comparison photo in the gallery for the difference in appearance.

Custom Options (2nd Gen Only)
The 2nd Gen can be customized to your style. We can adjust the color temperature or make it in red, blue or another light color. Please contact us to confirm your custom option before ordering.

Installation: Plug-and-Play, No Coding Needed
The illuminated hood star plugs directly into your car’s driver-side headlight connector. It has built-in coding, so there’s no programming and no wire cutting needed. Once connected, the star lights up together with your headlights.

Installation is simple, but it does involve removing some trim and routing the wire from the hood ornament to the headlight. For the best result, we recommend having it installed by a professional.

Which Mercedes Can Use the Illuminated Hood Star?
This illuminated star is designed for Mercedes-Benz models that come with an upright hood ornament, including the S-Class (W223, W222), E-Class (W214) and other models with a stand-up star. Mercedes models with the star in the grille don’t have a hood ornament, so this part won’t fit them.
