I can't seem to find a definitive answer online. does the new C class have an option for having DRL or foglights in the lower part of the bumper like in previous generations?

DRL's are above the headlights and can be turned on or off. I don't know of any fog light option.

The previous gen stopped offering Fog lights after the LCI and coupe were released.

Yes, but they still have the DRL in lower part of the bumper. Does the W205 have any such option?

No, the DRLs are built into the headlight, like an eyebrow. The bottom area where a fog light should be is just blacked out

I know with the intelligent light system the LED lights adapt to fog lights when rear fogs are on.

I'm new to the Forum was wondering in the space where the fog lights would be would it be possible to take off the plastic covers that are there and at a set of fog lights?

Of course it's possible, its just time/money. The real question is, why would you do it?

The W205 does have the European version of a "Fog Light" located in the left Rear tail light, a red light separate from the brake and tail lights. I was behind a new C300 coupe the other day and the owner had switched on the fog light (probably by accident as the weather was clear). It is VERY bright and certainally gets your attention.

I turn mine on when some clown in a 4X4 with his fog lights pulls up on my tail.


Gotta have a little fun!
