LED DRL installed
hello guys,

i haven't posted anything for a long time. just been busy. here's my recent mod i added some LED strips. they are actually not too bright at night time but you are able to see them for sure during day time.

enjoy guys~

ya the way you did it just looks random...maybe if you lined the entire bottom of the fog grille and not just a 4" section on the inside...it just looks tacky and especially since the fogs are stock nasty yellow they really look out of place...I recommend never using fogs with the LEDs

Looks odd since it is just the strip chillin on your mesh... Maybe gut your existing fogs and put them inside of it around the outer edge into a circle and maybe it would look better. But for right now it looks tacky and doesnt belong on a MB.

i tried to copy the pattern like the e-class coupe but i wasnt able to do it the angle is too sharp and it might bend the led strips and breakt over time. thats hwo i end up installing it the other way around. instead.

error codes with this mod.
