DRL during nighttime
#27
Good to know you received my email.I just wanted to tell you that having the daytime running lamps on at night really add more style of the car.I'm not that big on the 2014
benzes that have the daytime running lamps located inside the headlamps.I know that other manufacturers have them there also such audi,nissan,range rovers and hyudai.To me it tends to make the car look it has underliner under it's eyes which gives the car too much of a feminin look.By the way, where in Europe are you?

No problem for helping,by the way,I also like what the german manufactures have done f to the volkswagen(beetle).That car has shreded it's soft toy image to look more like man's car that reminds me more of what it parents are.....Porches.Please keep me updated on your progress with your DRL's......It should not take them long since it's just a code that tell the light's to stay on at all the time even when your headlamps are on.I'll have to load a picture of my car(or whip) as the young people refer to cars in US these days and it's not a good slang word to me not because am old......I'm just 49 !

If you are upgrading from the round DRL and Foglights on the front you would need an updated front SAM unit and confirm that the DRL pins are connected to plug 21M Left pin 10 and Right Pin 15. The other side goes to ground. I am in the process of updating my car to code 772 AMG styling package, bumpers and sideskirts along with the LED DRLs in front. I should know if this works (staying on with headlights) in a few weeks. I already updated the headlights to the factory P2 Bi-Xenon system with success.

DRL on at night
After bringing to the dealership and told me they cannot do it, I went to this blog and find some helpful people (thanks to mrtbenz) contacted mbusa and talk to them and send me again to the dealership the tech there don't know how to do it they need to talk the tech from mbusa how to do it. Finally my DRL and headlight is ON at the same time. I will post a picture if a get a chance.

E Class MBs are programed to dim when the headlights turn on. If you MOD the DRLs from halogen to LED you may need to reprogram the SAM or recode the SAM. Talk to your MB dealer.

Did you find any answer for your problem? I have an 2011 E220 coupe and I have the same problem. The DRL during the daylight is just fine but turn off automatically when headlights automatically turn on. I visited local dealer but they failed to find a solution yet and they are saying that car is created like this. But this is not true because it has the ILS (intelligent light system )
Appreciate if you can give me any hints

Could you send to me the directions you received in order to solve the problem because my local dealer is also unable to do that
I really appreciated if you can send me an email with such information
