Hi i've a R 350 CDI 2011 without xenon so i want to update the halogen fog to an original day light led. Anyone tried this before because i hope that is not plug and play.

Thanks

If you're looking to with the fogs to daytime running lights, you will need to get it reprogrammed. This may or may not be possible, other threads between this, the X164, and W164 (based on the same platform) suggest that it is not.

You can however, just put some LED H7 bulbs in there, but you will get a lamp error unless you put a resistor in there also.

Done that. It gives a nice white light color.
I have HID light bulbs installed in the fog lights and it much brighter than OEM halogen and LED bulbs.
