Mercedes-Benz accessories will make an illuminated version of the grill star for their range of vehicles priced at about $395. Here are some more details.
Using optical fiber with LED technology, the star emblem is lighted up only when the car is stationary, when the car is unlocked or the engine is stopped.
It also lights up when the car’s doors or trunk is opened, and once they are closed, the light will go off in 15 seconds.

I’d want my emblem on all the time.
Lighted up? Maybe they mean lit up?
1998 is calling
Just like how audi started the daytime running lights, this trend to shall pass. Its not a bad idea for the high end vehicle market though. I just cant imagine Honda or Toyota with a illuminate emblem :-/
Gaudy. That’s right up my alley.
I have on my Chevy Cruzes rear emblem illuminated for 3 years now. This is nothing new!
