Sweet looking ride. Where did you get the LEDs? Does it comes with the car or is it aftermarket?

I also bought OEM LED strip for C-Class and did the retrofit same as you; however, the LED too bright at night time.

The original Lighting package comes with lighting module that control the brightness of the LED at night (when low beam/Xenon ON).

Are you experiencing the same problem?

Thanks

Hey I'm from hk too! Sweet ride, it's basically the same car that I have with similar options. Can you tell me about the Brabus tune? How much was it, does it make a huge difference and lastly does it void your warranty? Thanks a lot.

Yes, thats why I have a found a special control module to control the light pattern of the led, as u can see from the above pics, led DRL brightness can be adjusted. At low beam it is set for 50% brightness, when "fog light" is switch on , full brightness (100%) will be set.

The BRabus tune is great. The kit includes a tuning box made by Brabus, and a Brabus intercooler. It is not cheap , which is over 20k , but u buy what u have paid for. It has 240hp and 37.7kgm@2000rpm . It is especially noticeable at in gear acceleration, Where the difference is huge. In terms of warranty, risk is there, but u can always remove the tuning at anytime.

!!! this might be what we were waiting for. As long as the cost isnt too much, Im so game to get this retrofitted. I too am interested on more info please

As a side note in the previous thread, there is the retrofit for the hockey styled LEDs like on the E class. I saw a 2011 E class today and they no longer have the hockey stick style, its one strip like the C and S

yes you are right, it is exactly what i am looking for. i reckon it is expensive but the build quality of the wiring harness is top notch.

I'm pretty sure Brabus picks up the warranty, maybe they don't do it in HK? I was looking at Brabus tunes in Germany, and they offered to warranty my engine.. I think it was for 4 years, up to 50,000 miles.
