Those are not fog lights but just daytime running lights. The cars with those lights have the fogs elsewhere.

Please don't. If you really want to, get some LED H7 fogs and install them with a 55W ballast/error canceller.

Rip off? http://www.superbrightleds.com/cgi-b...gi?product=CAR

Btw, you need a 2.6Ohm 55W load resistor. It can also be lower, who knows the minimal load for the fogs not to error?


edit: This BOW3 from DDM might work! It works for Zenon kits so... http://www.ddmtuning.com/products/Wa...air-130-0.html
Can someone contact DDM I don't see an email addy

Hi Guys, I am curious to the right info, everyone here says that the Fogs are H7, according to my manual and the Sylvania site, the fog lights are H11.

Any idea? I have a 2009 C300 4MATIC

Thanks Vic, good to know. in Canada, you can only get the C230 and the C300 non-4matic without the sports package. The rest C300 4M, C350 adn C350 4M come standard with the sports package.

New e-class LED foglights on W204 are available as light package in E class,and standard in Avangarde version.

Maybe see them in W204 in Autumn 2010 facelift.

LEDs for the W204

Right you are. My subscription copy of Auto motor und Sport (from Stuttgart) arrived today and what do I see but the 2011 SLK on the cover and the rest of the 2011 models inside.

The C-Class gets what they call "new lighting technology" which amounts to a horizontal row of seven LEDs in the old fog light area plus, in the headlight assembly, (same size and shape) there appears to be another reflector behind the inner high beam which may be the fog light. They also say the car gets Brake Assist Plus, whatever that may be. Other than that, the car looks the same.

There is some discussion about the SLS, both in open form plus the gullwing version, making do with 571hp.

The S-Class gets the horizontal LED treatment also (ooooo) but looks unchanged.

Looks like the SLK is the biggest facelift with a new nose and tail and yet another new 5-spoke wheel design and will be available with the new 4-cylinder 250 CDI diesel.

My understanding is Brake Assist Plus comes with those equipped with Distronic that automatically applies 40% of brake when the distance is less than 1.6s and full 100% brake power when distance is less than 0.6s. You can check the mercedes.com website and see the S Class microsite.

So this implies W204 gets Distronic option in 2011 facelift?

SO if the rest of the world get this in 2011, maybe if we're lucky we'll see them a few years later in the US?

Hey, maybe they'll give us the Advance Agility Control and a C350 w/ 4-matic and/or Lux trim in 2011?

I can't call to the US. It costs 500,000,000$ plus your time is different. If it turns out to work I'm getting it

If look at S class facelift you may change opinion about LED.

2008 C Class Sport
Has anyone tried to put LEDs in the C Class with resistors and no error light on? I think it looks sweet changing foglight bulbs to LEDs

Is it possible to add some scanned photos of the pages highlighting the w204 changes? Thanks
