Remove the covers, I mean your mercedes should have the power connectors there since they all come with these bumper leds. Did yours get stolen?

you can get one of these, and hook it up to the Battery post in the engine bay.
my DRLs came with a similar harness.
It autodetects when the car turns on and off.
Only downside is it will not turn them on with unlock *with the Angel eyes).
i used to have mine just shoves in the headlight and tapped off the angle eye bulb wiring, but the connection wasnt good.

damn sorry i was too late!
getting through the grommet on the drivers side was hard as hell.
i had to drill through the rubber (super scary since a big wiring loom is right there)
i had to run my LED bar switch through that.

was there an easier way through that your found?

wasnt too bad, i see how thick the grommet was with all the wires. so i just used the hood latch cable grommet.
