Hi

I Have a w204 c220 cdi mercedez benz avantgarde from July 2007, and a friend of mine has the exact same car, but he doesn't have the Multimedia package.

But when he turns the wheel to the left or right, his fog lights turns on (for better visibility) and mine doesn't. I tried messing with settings of the car to see if i could turn this feature.

Thanks in advanced.

If you have the Avantgarde then you're most likely running the H11 fogs where your friend is running the H7 fogs with the sport package. Only the H7 fogs have turn in lighting. You tell the difference by H11 fogs are oval and H7 fogs are round.

You did this at night. Just checking.

Mines and his are both H7, here is a pic of my car

It was on day time

It only works when it's dark...

Carneiro

Even at dark..

mine doesn't work

I have this car about 4 year ago, but i never paid atention to it, then my friend told me that his car turns the fog lights on when he steers the wheel to the left or right..

And mine, simple don't. We both Have Xenon Headlights (Not Bi-Xenon), Both have the H7 Fog Lights..

It may be a dealer-programmable option.

Do you have cornering light feature on?

Carneiro

If i go to a Official Mercedes workshop, can they program that option to enable that feature?

i don't knot how to turn it on can you explain how can i enable it?

I have this feature and friggin hate the stupid thing. Count your blessings.

i did not know this, but is it a us spec thing too?

dcjwlee

This feature comes with P1 or P2, can't remember at the moment, but that's why yours is not turning on while cornering.

Are you sure you have the H7? Those are the same fog trim I have on my H11. You better pull the bulb to make sure but I'm pretty positive you have the H11 fogs.

*Edit, I just looked at your second pic again and you have H11, I can see where the base of the bulb is "screwed" into the housing. Also, have you confirmed your friends car actually does this feature or you just base it off what he told you?

The complaints about those stupid one sided lights began in 2007 because no one wanted them and it was found to be non-cancellable.

it has nothing to do with which bulb or Multimedia or fog light shape.

Where do these tales come from, anyway?

I pay no attention to mine, which BTW are oval because it's a Luxury model.

bimm325i

Ah that explains it, wish i knew what my car was ordered with.

Knightmare69

They come from actual users. I have the Lux model with oval fogs and do not have this function. I looked everywhere in the settings and did not find them. Why you have them really does baffle me though as most ppl that complain about this issue have sport fogs.

Carneiro

i just did what you said.

Mines are H11, but that means that this feature doesn't work on my car because of the bulbs?

**EDIT: i saw now, my friends car has the oval fog lights and mine are round, can this be the difference between mine and his?

dcjwlee

Please people. Do a little research before shooting off the first answer that comes to mind. It took me about 45 seconds to find SEVERAL threads on this matter.

Please, if you have any more questions about this function PLEASE REFER TO THIS THREAD THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN BEATEN INTO THE GROUND.

Please lock this thread.

Mine is a US model so there may be differences but that does not explain why another HK car has them.

It's clear that no one here has the answer so just go to a dealer and clear it up.
