I have an 08 550 and the switch pulls out. You better start working out.

*** in my '09, you can only pull the dial out in the non-auto headlight mode.

Same here. That's what I was missing.

YO your truck look HOT! Thanks for the Info!

Just want to let you know that it's possible to add a bus-module that will turn you fog lights into DRLs
The light turn on when the car start, and the leds turn off when you turn on the dipped beem (They will not dim to 30% like the stock DRLs as it can't control the voltage, only activate the fogs).
I've installed it on mine (cost €199), and you get the stock look as the parking light is not turned on, only the LEDs

I have 2007 GL 450, is it still possible to do LEDs on it ?

jimmyp

Anyone put these on a 2010 yet? I may order them with the bus control so I do not have to program but not sure on the plugs?

I am interested too for a 2011 GL350. I can turn on DRL's myself through the steering wheel menus.

I'll update if/when I find out more.

The lights are 450.00 from getmercedesparts.com need to get the plugs for the but not sure on that. Will the bumper need to come off or can it be done from under the truck?

I did a 2010 and 2011 already to the LED, with programming and parts it was about $950. coding was a little crazy in the beginning, but I ended up borrowing a vehicle with the LED's in it from the factory and read out the coding from the front SAM, duplicated it to the other vehicles... works like factory, no fault codes either. obviously no fog lights as they were removed, but they were programmed out to not throw a fault code. bumper did not have to come off either... and the plug for the DRL was chopped off and I added the correct MB plug with pins to make it like factory

jbondox hopefully you could help me out I got a 2011 GL450 which I just added the led drl with the actual harness and I did add resisters so I wont get the error code which I didn't my question is when my low beams take over my led drl turn off and I would like them to stay on all the time, is that where the programming comes into play or am I missing something else thank you for your help

I just purchased a 2011 GL 350 Bluetec and was hugely disappointed that it did not come with the daytime LED. Please outlien the easiest (and most cost effective way) to make the conversion? I think your truck looks fantastic and I would love to do the same. Thank you for your help!

Vastus

I just purchased a 2011 GL 350 Bluetec and am hugely disappointed that it did not come with the daytime LED running lights. Can someone please guide me on how to make the conversion and approximately how much it will cost?
Much appreciated.

I posted a thread about it. Im doing it on my GL. A guy in canada was selling the LED's and one chrome piece for $215-shipped. So i bought it. And had to order another chrome piece, and 2black plastic surround pieces-$100(got a discount at the dealer). I will post pics on my thread tonight or tomorrow. Check it out!

So the only problem that i'm having is that the resistors("50 watt/ 6 ohm load resistors) are getting very hot, after being plugged in for about 2 minutes. I burnt my fingers taking it out. Eurodok, are your getting hot after a few minutes?

Whats the best way to resolve this?

jchochla

Can you please tell me how you reprogrammed the SAM? Where is it located on the GL? Mines a 2010...

Thanks!

Tommytrojan

Anybody did this mod on 450.? I am dying to get led fogs. Please post parts required for 450. I believe somebody posted but are they correct.?

ksdprasad

where did you added the resistor to wiring? is it generate heat? if yes where did you placed that in the car?

Hey i just wanted to add this, you could use the front cigarette lighter power to run the Drl's as that circuit is key on power only and circuit has high enough amp draw rating. What I am gonna be doing is this, use the the power from that circuit to trigger a Bosch 30 amp relay that will power the Drl's, and this circuit will be out of the CanBus so no lamp/lighting errors. Along with the relay I also will add a fuse to the circuit rated at the draw of both Drl's + 5% or closest to anticipated draw and one on the power up of the relay, as so to protect the pesky MB electronics. I hope this insight helps anyone thinking of doing the retrofit in the future. "Just My 2 Cents" and Thanks for your time.

It looks like there is an aftermarket solution for this LED DRL retrofit from China. If anyone has tried these on your GL, please post your results.

I ordered just the lights. I will post pictures when I get the lights installed

Here are some pictures. They look good and fit perfectly! No error messages!

Looking good. Was really thinking of buying one, but he has no pics of the LED installed. Now that I have seen yours, time to pull the trigger.

Got a question, did you connect the power using the battery under the seats or just used the jumpstart terminals under the hood?
