c coupe drl

I recently noticed that the daytime running lights on my c350 seem not bright compared to either the drls I see on the internet or the ones I see on the roads.
The other drls I see are so bright and amazing that you can clearly see the four separate leds sparkling.
However, mine were kind of dim and I suspect them to even be leds.
I am wondering if this happens because I dont have light package?
To my understanding, I thought the drls are all the same for all c models.

I know its unclear to describe it by words and I will try to post the pictures up soon.

Well, it depends on if it's day or night. If it's night, then all the Mercedes-Benz LED daytime running lamps in the lower fascia will dim. During the day, have you tried leaving it running, walking away from the car quite a bit, and then looking at the LED's? The LED's are not bright unless you look at them straight on or if you bend your knees (to simulate you in another car) and if you are too close to them, you can't see them on sometimes either b/c they are dim from certain angles.

what ^ said. The lens over the LED Strip in our C classes are cut so that they don't show clearly from certain angles. Another easy way is to get behind a pickup truck and look at the reflection in their tail gate or in a window of a building. they are damn bright, and you can definitely see them from a good distance.
