Personalisation – changing the Mercedes GLE Coupe 550 button icon
Last updated: 08.09.2026
Original button
The original button featured a standard moon and road symbol, which indicates the car lighting control function, specifically used to activate or deactivate automatic high beams. This is a typical solution used in higher-end Mercedes-Benz vehicles.
Implementation process
1. Consultation with the customer At the beginning, we discussed the customer’s vision in detail and designed a new exhaust pipe icon to replace the original lighting pictogram.
2. Button removal The button was carefully removed from the Mercedes GLE Coupe centre console, maintaining the full electronic and mechanical functionality of the component.
3. Surface preparation The original moon and road pictogram was removed, preparing the surface for the new marking in accordance with our proven technology.
4. Development of new graphics Especially for this project, we designed an exhaust pipe icon that perfectly matches the interior design of the Mercedes GLE Coupe and meets the customer’s expectations.
5. Application of the new pictogram Using laser engraving technology, we applied the new exhaust pipe icon with the highest precision and durability.
6. Assembly and quality control After completion of the work, the button was reinstalled and a quality control and functionality test was performed.
Final result
The customer received a unique, personalised button with an exhaust pipe icon that perfectly matches the character of the sporty Mercedes GLE Coupe 550. The modification retains the full functionality of the original button, changing only its visual appearance in accordance with the owner’s individual preferences.
Technical note
The change of the pictogram is purely visual – the electronic function of the button remains unchanged and still controls the vehicle’s automatic headlights.
Yes, this is possible. We offer button personalisation involving the removal of the original pictogram and laser application of a new, individually designed graphic. This was the case with the Mercedes GLE Coupe 550, where we replaced the standard automatic high-beam symbol with an active exhaust icon, according to the customer’s request.
Changing the icon is a purely visual modification. The electronic and mechanical functionality of the button remains unchanged – in our project, the button with the new exhaust icon still controls the automatic high beams, exactly as before the personalisation. If a customer wants the button to physically control a different vehicle function, this requires additional technical consultation.
The process itself permanently removes the original pictogram and applies a new one via laser engraving, so it is not reversible in a simple sense. However, you can always request another change at any time – applying a different graphic, including recreating the original factory symbol, if you decide to return to the initial state.
Time and cost depend on the complexity of the new graphic, the type of button, and whether a unique design needs to be developed from scratch. The standard process includes consultation, button removal, surface preparation, graphic development, laser application of the icon, and reassembly with a functionality test. We provide an exact quote and timeline individually after receiving a photo of the button and a description of your expectations.
Yes, we specialise in individual, custom projects. During the consultation we discuss the customer’s vision and develop a unique graphic tailored to the character and interior of the specific vehicle – as with the exhaust icon designed especially for the sporty Mercedes GLE Coupe 550. It is also possible to choose from our existing, proven pictogram designs.
