Heres a few (very low quality) pics that I took after installation. One of them shows a parking light (the C) not lit. It went off an on the first few days and giving me error messages on the dash, but eventually it resolved itself.
This is 6000k FYI
Has anyone figured out if it's possible to keep the parking light AND keep the LED running lights on during the day and driving? Or how to keep the parking lights on at all times?
Does anyone have any need for just one Right DEPO C headlight? I was involved in a car accident that shattered only one left headlight. I replaced them with a brand new set and have a spare passenger side left.

No. There was a group on the c63 forum that was going to try and figure this out but haven't seen any updates. If anyone ever figures this one out please post.

Do you have a link to that thread? I'm going to do some digging on finding the wiring diagrams and playing around to see if I can have the parking lights and LED running lights use the same signal with some modifications.

I also ordered a pair from fishcake321 on ebay. The seller was really helpful and confirmed that the projectors act as both high/low beam (bi-xenon), and the bulb size is 9005. Seller also noted that the H7 bulb in the reflector housing is angled as a fog light and will be activated when high beam is switched on. You can see this from the youtube video posted earlier by another member.
Now I am just debating if I should keep the ballasts that come with the headlight or order a pair of Denso from the Retrofit Source....

this isn't really relevant. OEM ILS bixenons are programmed much differently than these retrofits, and therefore anything true about them isn't necessarily true about the retrofits.
i am 100% certain you can run your parking lights (the "C") and your DRLs at the same time under certain lighting conditions. Flip your light dial to the left one click from auto. If it is daytime light out, your parking lights, side markers, and DRLs will run. If it is dark enough that your low beams would automatically turn on, turning the dial to the left will turn OFF your DRLs with no other effect.
Can anyone confirm whether these Depo headlights have switchable projectors for RHD \___ \___ and LHD ___/ ___/ pattern?
i'm not sure what this means. the projectors project straight forward. if you think that the retrofits are sophisticated enough to automatically aim lower at oncoming traffic (the only difference I can think of with LHD/RHD) then, no, they can't. But you can manually aim them like any other headlight.
I bought these DEPO headlights. I'm sort of a noob, and I want HID's. Can someone link me to a HID kit I could buy that would work with my 2012 C300 sport sedan and with these DEPO headlights. Thanks.
Has anyone who ordered DEPO Headlight had a problem with the low beam cap being loose?
Both my driver and passenger side low beam cap are loose and they don't have a rubber seal in the cap; however, the smaller cap (behind the "C" parking light) has a rubber seal and they tighten up real nice.

I am 100% certain you're wrong.
You must not have the depo headlights or the OEM ILS. Turning the dial to the left turns on the "C" parking light and turns OFF the DRLs. Another thread successfully got listed how to rewire to get the both on at the same time.
Since you haven't installed the headlights, could you take a picture of projector's back for me? I want to see if there is any mark or lever for LHD/RHD pattern. Thank you!

Not sure what you are looking for but i have attached the photos. Hopefully this is what you what. (First one should be the passenger side and driver, I have labeled the photo not sure if it will show)
BTW, after looking through the headlight I found the rubber seal that goes on the big cap. It goes on tight but doesn't lock in as well as the little cap, but this was a lot better than before

yeah I must be wrong. Pic taken in drive. you can see my side markers on as well, just as I stated, genius.

I had that issue too before! I ended up cutting the rubber's thickness into half and it fits tightly without any issue. Try to compare it with the OEM. It might be a bit foggy for the first few weeks and it's normal I believe. Mine got a whole lot better just in a month could be caused by the temperatures though. It's spring now
Hey JaredP, is yours depo headlight from USR? Did you do any modification on it? Wiring change? What kind of "Under certain lighting conditions"?
Lemonstand, can you please post a link to the thread? The one I was looking at always ended up with no answer
as i said, "If it is daytime light out, your parking lights, side markers, and DRLs will run. If it is dark enough that your low beams would automatically turn on, turning the dial to the left will turn OFF your DRLs with no other effect."
my lights are DEPOs from USR, no modifications.
You just have to remember to turn the switch back to "AUTO" when you are finished driving, or the parking lights will remain on. The car will ding and remind you when you remove the key and open the door.
yeah I must be wrong. Pic taken in drive. you can see my side markers on as well, just as I stated, genius.
Well I'm eating crow. I apologize
However I must say, from my research on these forums, you are one of the few who seem to have figured this out. Doesn't matter if its day or night out. switching to the left once will turn off my DRLs. the only way to get the setup like your pic jared is when i unlock my car.

I said this in a couple threads, so I was getting a bit frustrated with people telling me I was wrong... maybe it is just the case that my car is different for whatever reason. Maybe it's because my car is Canadian Spec? Who knows. But yeah, I can imagine how you could rewire to get full time parking lights.
I installed these headlights on my 2012 c300 and now the DRL's won't turn on when I unlock the car. Day or night. The DRL's work but just not when I unlock the car. No idea what this could be.

I think it's because your car is Canadian specs, any other Canadian owners that can confirms this?

HOW IN GOD'S NAME DID YOU DO THIS? I have checked all the threads and read up on all the wiring, and cannot for the life of me figure out if this is possible to replicate.
