Pre-Face Lift C63 Adaptive Headlight Question

I have a 2011 C63 with the old style fog lights, and I am wondering if you can disable the "adaptive healights" so when you turn your wheel/signal the fog light doesnt come on.

i think most people's solution is to just keep the fog lights on any time the headlights are on.

Agreed, why would you not just always keep the fog lights on.

I keep all my lights on all the time.

You can probably disable it but only through the STAR software.

those aren't adaptive headlights, they are called "cornering lamps."

adaptive headlights move the actual headlight bulb mount inside the housing up and down and left and right.

Replace your fog light bulbs with Philips Diamond Vision H7 bulbs and your eyebrow bulbs with AZN Optics 5000k Leds and you will have a pretty good match.
