Hello all! How to disable drl lights so that the computer does not show the error? How this is done at the C63 Black Series? How work the lights on the Black Series in "Auto" mode and on "Parking lights" mode?

You can do it through your cluster menu/steering wheel controls.


This video is for a pre facelift car but the steps are the same.

I want to remove the DRL lights from a bumper entirely.

TheInfamousDrew

Ahhh gotcha.
Try turning them off on the cluster, then remove one to see if that works.

BLKROKT

Just remove them. No errors. Turn it off in the menu too.

I removed my DRL and received errors. I went into the setting and disabled them. However, this ONLY disables them during the day.

I was still getting an error code. Then I remembered, when the headlights are on at night, the daytime running lights are also on but dimmed.

What did I do to solve the problem? Add resistors!

Problem is solved. I did it to the side markers as well.

They could not be coded off unfortunately; I tried.

BLKROKT

Uhhhhhhh..... two things. PFL is probably different than FL. And C300 may be different than C63.

I actually did it. I modified my front bumper and removed the FL LED DRLs entirely. I shut them off in the dashboard menu, removed them, and NO ERRORS.

So from actual real-life experience doing exactly what you are proposing on the car make, model and year in question, just do what I said and no problems.

With that said, to the OP, don't you have a BS? They don't have DRLs.

CarHopper

Looks like he has a 507 and is calling it a BS.

Interesting....

So out of curiosity, when you had the DRL, they never dimmed at night while the headlights were on like in this picture?

Alex-r-1

Yes, I have 507 edition.
I mean, how the headlights work on the Black Series without daytime lights. What shines in "auto" mode?

Alex-r-1

I think without DRL lights looks better!!!

Adi-Benz

nope it doesnt just tint em

BLKROKT

Yes. Actually it does.

On my Black Series the low beam xenons act as the DRLs. I shut mine off through the cluster.

Alex-r-1

When you remove its, how you shut the wire connector to keep out the water?

BLKROKT

Cut off connectors. Electrical tape wires.

Adi-Benz

I stand corrected, that looks great!

But his car is red so idk quite yet...

Alex-r-1

Thanks!

That would be deemed illegal in Canada and MBC would tell you it can't be done without throwing off the warning but you seem to have it figured out. How much resistance did you put in?

w204_Generic

5ohm 100 watts, they get warm though, just make sure it is not mounted to plastic and has good airflow.

Alex-r-1

Today I disconnected the wire from the one DRL light, the error does not appear on the dashboard!

Alex-r-1

Tell please, to remove the DRL lights need remove bumper?

w204_Generic

I stand corrected. The daytime running lights can be disabled through the "lights" settings on the dashboard without any error codes.

I only get a daytime running light error code when I manually enable my "eyebrow" lights only. When headlights are on during the night or during the day of that matter, no error codes are present. Since you are a facelift W204, you will not have to worry about any error codes, since they do not have any "eyebrow" lights in the headlights.

I verified by removing the resistors on the DRLs. I am happy I do not need them......; however, I have to keep the resistors for the side markers. Obviously no way to turn those off even through STAR diagnostic.

For some reason I could have sworn I was getting an error code while the headlights were on, this is not the case... I suppose I got confused when I turned my "eyebrow" lights on only, because that is when the error code shows.

DRL trim in progress. LED lights i remove. Holes for leds are sealed and now need painting it's in black.

Alex-r-1

Finished. What do you think guys?
