Post Daytime running lights QUESTION

Hey all,

This is my first time posting so please be gentle.

A week ago, i bought a used 2010 C300 with 40.000 miles on it. Fantastic drive, great car.

I also noticed that the daytime running lights on the 2011 model are very aesthetically appealing and i would like to know if they are interchangeable with the fog lights of the 2010 model (since they both sit in the same place, as you all know)

Thanks a lot for anwers

if you currently have the fog lights its better to go aftermarket and add DRL's rather then switch from fog to DRL.
first of all, atleast on my car because the fog lights are used to make extra light when turning at slow speed

Keep the fogs. If you really want the leds you can buy a bezel that has the leds and will let tou keep the fogs. The fog lights are more useful.
