DRL weirdness
Howdy folks i'm new to this forum and to mercedes 
I got my C180 CDI 2 days ago its the latest facelift with the new shape headlamps. I live in the Netherlands Amsterdam to be exact. Anyway here is the weirdness as soon as my headlamps turn on DRL's shut off completely does anybody have any idea why this is happening? They should just dim 50% and stay on right? Thanks for your help! My DRL were fitted from the factory however I do not have xenon headlamps.

If you don't have LED DRL's, they will turn off because that is normal when the headlights are on (this happens on my GL class because I dont have bixenons and I have the double ring DRL/fog combinations). If you have LED DRL's, then you should see your dealer.

The LED DRL's will turn off if you manually turn the light knob to the headlight ON switch. They will dim if the headlights turn on in auto mode.
