I have "Brabus ambient lighting" but don't have...

I have "Brabus ambient lighting" but don't have the instruction.
Does anyone know how to install this part?
or how it works?
I read many introductions, and they said the ambient lighting on and off automatically.
Does anyone has the detail informations of this part?
Thanks!

I have "Brabus ambient lighting" but don't have...

I just had the Brabus ambient lighting installed in my car by my dealer. The wiring connects to the main wiring harness through the SAM and needs to be activated in order to work in the car (according to the dealer). The brackets install under the dash in the flat area where the two lower dash panels are bolted together. There are two LED light fixtures for each side. One is a bright one (the round one) that illuminates when the door is opened. The other one is rectangular and dimly lit. This one illuminates when the headlights (or parking lights) are on similarly to what Mercedes uses in the footwells for their ambient lighting. The part itself is actually stamped with a MB logo and has an s-class part number on it, so it is the exact same unit from MB. It adds an nice effect at night to the interior both for entry and while driving. Hope this helps.

I noticed that there were several words like "ARROW A or B" in the instructions,
so I guess it has some pictures along with.
Since I don't DIY before, I believe some pics will do a lots of help.
Thanks~
