You remove a cover on the back of the headlight. Go in through the wheel well. Lots of videos online.


Mine are just blue, so no wires hanging out of the cover.

Yes I am. American models don’t have any colors, and boards seem to be for PFL models

I got the wrong board sent to me. It’s a 5 pin board mine is a 6 pin
and “Benz-yourself HQ” has gone silent
so if anybody is looking for multi color DRL board without “intelligent lighting” or what ever it’s called
I got a set


Not these headlights

My bad not as in what seller, I mean from what site? Trying to figure out if their return policy will help you, like for example Amazon with their A to Z that type of thing.

Sorry! I was on vacation for the past week. Just got back yesterday.

Yes, I did get the boards delivered. I haven't had a chance to do the install yet. I'm thinking this weekend when I get some free time.

Sorry gentlemen. This will take little longer than anticipated! I tried going under the wheel well but with my tires being too phat, I cant properly get my hand up in there to get all the bolts. Either I might need to take my tires off or might have to take off the front bumper. Regardless, I think I might wait until July 4th weekend as it'll give me the most amount of down time to figure out which method I want to do so that I can officially do this MOD.

Will this work with the Partial LED Headlight option (code 632)? I believe they are also called static LEDs.
