Wondering how you get the inner parking light that looks like a C and the fog LEDs on at the same time (while headlights remain off)??!?!?!!

I am trying everything to no avail. When you UNLOCK the car, it does this, but I can't seem to get it to stay on...


Below is the pic of the C that I am talking about on the right side of the light:

This has come up before in other threads and as far as I'm aware no ones being able to do it it's a feature I too would love to have !

So I don't think it's possible unless a custom wiring/settings mod is done somehow, so I hope somebody somewhere comes up with a solution for this one

The only way you can have it now temporarily when the vehicle is stationary of course is when you turn off the ignition or unlock the vehicle via the remote in the dark.

Yes, but it looks so much cooler with just the 4 lights on not the headlights

I agree, problem is if there's anyone out there who knows how to figure it out

When I get the opportunity I'll try asking one of the technicians at my MB dealership and see if they can probably sort it out using the diagnostics tech tool/s.

Canadian cars must be set up differently. If my DRLs are on (and not the headlamps), I can manually turn on the switch to the parking lamp position and it will do that, regardless of whether the car is running or not.

The car automatically overrides if the light outside is too low and switches on the xenons though.

I see. Can you take a picture of the inside of the car, at which position you leave it in? Just curious to see how yours is compared to US cars.

I will take a pic of mine when I leave the office.
