Replacing fogs with LED DRL
Guys,

I came across a set of LED DRL lights that I couldn't pass. My C300 came with fogs and I was wondering if there is any special procedure other than swap to make these work. Is there any programing involved?
Thanks

If they are OEM they will not be a direct replacement either in the opening or the wiring harness. Stick with the fogs more useful than the LED DRL.

I personally like the LEDs better than the fog lights.

They look nice just not useful in bad weather. If I could switch my LEDs to fogs I would in a heartbeat. Especially living off the water like I do.

Being in the bay area, I find the fogs to be very useful. Nonetheless, I feel the fogs have a more aggressive look to them than LEDs. Best of luck though!
