running ligths

Hi, I have a glk 300 2014 with halogen lights. When you turn on the lights, the running lights go to off, in the case of glk with ILS lights, the running lights only go to dim when you turn on the lights. Is there any chance to keep the running lights on all the time? Thanks.

2012 glk 350 4MATIC
I have a 2012 glk, and on mine I change that in the settings option from my steering wheel. There's an option for daytime running lights on or off, I hope I was able to help I'm not sure if I understood the question correctly

the LED DRL dims because it will be too bright to oncoming traffic.

México mercedes benz said that is not possible to configure the running lights to stay bright during daylight and dim during night, only is posible in glk 350 with xenon lights. I was thinking that maybe exist some trick or some like, to keep the running lights in dim during night. (I am sorry about my English)

the running lights go to dim only when you turn off the car, and also when you lock the doors by remote control, they are on during the daylight and once it gets dark go to off automatically, I checked the configuration and it's on.

2013 GLk 250
I have a 250 bluetec with xenons. The LED strip is bright during the day but when the lights come on (the light switch is set to AUTO) the LED strip dims. However, if the light switch is turned on, the LED strip is off.

What I would like is being able to keep the LED strip on at full brightness when the lights are on at night or when the light switch is turned on.

There is at least one other MB model (I think E class) where when the headlight is on, there is another LED strip that is also on, bright and not dimmed.
