Vehicle and kit scope
The source guide covers 2010–2016 Mercedes-Benz CLS 218 and E-Class 212 vehicles without factory ambient lighting or with factory 3-color ambient lighting. The described kit adds 12-color lighting by replacing the light heads and attaching them to the existing, reserved light guides. It also adds color-changing functions.
Confirm the vehicle's existing light guides, lighting configuration and supplied kit before installation. The wiring image also names ML, GL, early GLE and early GLS, but this guide does not establish their model years or kit compatibility.
1. Product components
The photograph shows a center-console module and separate door modules. Their printed positions are center console, front left (FL), front right (FR), rear left (RL) and rear right (RR); match the supplied components to their documented positions.
2. Wiring layout
The diagram shows front and rear door handle and door-panel lights, left and right center-console lights, and front and rear footwell lights. It is a layout overview rather than a connector pinout. Obtain the exact kit connection instructions, vehicle connector identification and power-circuit specification before making electrical connections; those details are not provided in the source text.
Installation and configuration information
The source text contains no detailed installation procedure, programming instructions, troubleshooting steps or module DIP-switch settings. Use the source-bound video below as an installation reference, but obtain the kit-specific configuration instructions and vehicle service procedure before work. This text does not establish that programming is required or unnecessary.
