W204 Daytime LED Running Lights

[Geezer]

Do these exist at a reasonable price?

These are a ridiculous price!

Don't the new ones come with them as standard ?

Could you get a part number and try Inchcape ?

 

[Geezer]

I've got a new one (Oct 09) and no LEDs. I think the new E Class have them.

The facelifted w204 has them to Mercedes-Benz W204 C-Class Product Update/Facelift (Spy pics & info)
Just try and get the part numbers as it should be easy to fit

Where have the fog lights disappeared to?

 

[crockers]

Does anyone actually ever use front fog lights .............. in fog????

Now part of the bi zenon lights set up as per W212, no need for seperate fogs.

These arent fogs though!

Im sure you only get them when you order the xenon headlamps or the intel lighting pack i think.

On the W212 and W212 coupe , when the front fogs are selected , the LED daylight running lamps get brighter.

You kind of have to if you want the rears on. The switch only lets you turn the rear light on with the fronts.

I think you're right ,

Seems to indicate that the LEDs are only with the intelligent light pack.

 

[fuzzer]

Just like the rear lights , you only get LED if you order at least xenons.

 

[Geezer]

What are these?

There was an arguement I read somewhere pointing out that if we all had our lights on at all times, vehicles which needs their lights on become lost among the other traffic. Think emergency vehicles and their wig wags headlamps

Better to get used to the idea, or quit from EU. (don't want to enter the old topic any further).

Decided to see what actually happens when you put fog lights on (W212, bi zenon, LED DRL);

you have to switch off auto lights and go to manual, pull switch to turn on fogs, n/s head light appears not to alter, o/s head light moves outwards and down, LED DRL go out NOT go to full brightness. Almost forgot, one, yes only one rear o/s fog light comes on when switching fogs on.

I stand corrected , i was sure at the launch of the car that the new DRL foglamp going to full brightness was demonstrated. Apologies

No probs Fuzzer, LED DRLs are at full brightness when no other light is on (that'll be daytime then ) the LEDs drop to about half power as soon as headlights come on. You can if you so wish switch off DRLs via cluster settings.
