Mercedes-Benz CLA ambient lighting installation, generation by generation.

Yes. The C118 has 64-colour ambient lighting in the dash and door trims from the factory, but the footwells, door pockets and console are usually dark. We add strips there that follow the factory colour and dim with it. On a C117 the factory strip is a single 12-colour line, so most owners have us fit a full kit in the doors, dashboard and footwells instead.

It depends on the generation. C117 (2013–2019): from €800; C118 (2019 on): from €800. Fitting is done at our Dublin 11 workshop — send the reg and we confirm the exact price before you book.

C117, built 2013–2019 (Audio 20 on NTG4.5 with the 5.8 or 7-inch pod screen; the 2016 facelift brought the 8-inch display, and CarPlay was an option on some cars from 2016): Ambient LED kit in the doors, dashboard and footwells that matches or replaces the factory 12-colour strip, colour from your phone. C118, built 2019 on (MBUX (NTG6) with the 7 or 10.25-inch touchscreen; CarPlay and Android Auto on most cars, as the Smartphone Integration pack on early ones): Extended ambient lighting: footwells, door pockets and the console added alongside the factory 64-colour system.

Two to four hours on the Mercedes-Benz CLA C117 and C118. You can wait at the workshop or drop the car in the morning and collect it the same day.

On every CLA we work on — C117 and C118 — the kit runs off a fused feed and the factory ambient lighting stays; colour and brightness are set from your phone.

Yes — send the reg or the year and generation (C117 and C118) on WhatsApp or the form below, and we confirm the route, the price and the next free slot. The work carries a one-year warranty, and the workshop is in Rosemount Business Park, Dublin 11, Monday to Saturday.
