I have problems with the LEDs, if I could turn back I would not buy them. The original parts which sells Mercedes (internal media) doesn't fit well, but the real problem is when the LEDs are connected. Now I've connected them by a cable directly to the focus position, and when I turn on my car THEY BEGIN TO BLINK AND TO LOWER THEIR INTENSITY! What can be the cause??? How would you make the installation of the LEDs? I need urgent help!
Thank you.</SPAN></SPAN>

I saw a new Audi today with the LED lights and they were off and the headlights were on. And in the daytime the Audi LEDs I have seen are very bright, too bright for night use.
And by installing LEDs, your fog lights are gone, then?

Is there a day and night intensity change? Is there supposed to be something that turns them off or dims them when the lights are on?

Many problems with this car:
1) the problem with this car is that it does not have intelligent lighting with bixenons, just simple xenons so he should upgrade to bixenons before upgrading to DRL LEDs.
2) Foglights have different current than drl leds, so this causes the car to recognise an error to the DRLs, this is why they blink, or they dim.
3) you need new lighting facelifted switch which has extra section for drls
4) you need new wiring harness installed from lighting switch all the way to the fusebox and all the way up to the headlights and folights
Alternative just buy amg foglights and all problems sorted. No other way possible. Dont ruin your mercedes by chopping cables.
I hope this helps.

message was for fran29 that has photos of his car and does not have intelligent lighting
In your case you still need
lighting facelifted switch + lighting facelifted wiring harness plus some coding to enable DRL LEDS. Plus of course the parts mentioned above:
