Electronic means the lamp does not need a fuse. The lamp is switched on and off with a transistor. A computer monitors the current flowing in the lamp. If the current is too high the transistor is switched off. This protects the wiring without a fuse.
The dipped beam headlights are fused. They are also called low beam in the USA. They are used as a DRL (daytime running light.) The DRL's can be switched on or off by using the steering wheel switches and navigating to the menu to set that option.
Name is Johan, new to the forum and a prosperous 2015 to you all!
I have a few questions on the controversial subject of fitting after market DRL to a near perfect Merc front bumper lower centre grill (Valence) of a 2006 W203 C180k?.
Has anybody perhaps attempted to fit the DRL-238 LED DAY LIGHT-5SMD CIGO 12V DRL to the W203 Valence grill? Successfully or not, without it looking like after-market crappy fitments? I am battling to visualize the DRL's not looking like crap in the Valence? If it cannot look very near factory fitted its a no-go for me in any case.
Also, is it possible to remove the Valence grill WITHOUT removing the entire bumper? (I think not )
If anybody can assist, please advise? Please see attached photo's.
Regards
Johan
