W212 Fogs

Anyone thought of slappin' some of those sexy W212 fogs on your W203?
Are they just LED's?
I'll have to try and photoshop some on soon and post it. If someone else want's to beat me to the punch, go ahead ;-)

Those aren't fogs. They are DRLs. Please search.

Kinda hard to search for DRL's when you don't know the term. Dontcha think? Please use common sense.
Thanks for the reply though.

Daytime Running Lamp is pretty common sense. Besides if you dont know the term you could always hit up google.

You're right, DRL = Daytime Running Lamps is common sense. But, lights on the lower bumper (where fog lights usually are) are *normally* called fog lights. DRL's *normally* indicates that your lows or parking lights stay on during the day. So if a person (such as I) didn't know that the lower bumper lights were actually called DRL's and not fogs... You might imagine that I'd have a hard time turning up results in a search.

Yep it's a valid point; I hate to say it, but I hadn't really realized that they were DRLs either. I just assumed the couple I had seen were driving with just the fogs on for whatever reason.
