Could anyone please assist me on how can i get this feature turn on in my car. I know it's not driver programmable but I need the actuation codes for my mechanic with the DAS programme can't seem to find it.

Any help will be much appreciated.

Where are u located dude? Just recently we concluded that it is a US only feature - I certainly don't have it with an Euro option package (and glad for that too). Almost everyone here is trying to turn it off.

Here, check this thread out:

Hi Whitey !

Thanks for the thread. I have a UK version. Is there a way to turn on this feature, for the street at my home is relatively dark and it's dangerous for my wife when she comes home at night.

Any US drivers here know on how can this feature be turn on for a Euro version car using the DAS programme system. There must be a way to do so. Could someone please help find out for me. Is there a part/sensor of the car that needs to be change or a different software.

Appreciate the help.

Thanks a million !

Cheers !

Hey, another Pomm (sorry, no offence intended ). I can't help cos I also have an Euro version as I've mentioned (as I'm in HK) but maybe DAS can do some miracle to solve that.....I could also ask my mechanic when I visit him next, which will be soon.

As you can see, everyone else is trying to figure out how to change the timing on it so I guess if it can be shorten, then there's no reason why it can't be lengthened i.e. turned on....but dunno

I guess you do have a genuine need for it - ever considered putting Brabus (or similar) LEDs under the side skirts (which turn off after a short delay)? You'll see a pic on the thread by Alexbenz entitled "Pic for Whitey" or one from me entitled "Can this be done?" (you can always do a search on this forum but Alex's is on the first page and mine should be on the second).

CAN THIS BE SWICTHED AROUND? I MIGHT BE ADDING HID FOGLIGHTS AND WHEN YOU TURN IF OFF I DON'T WANT THEM TO COME BACK ON AGAIN????????? CAN THERE BE A WAY TO HAVE IT NOT TURN ON.............

michakaveli

Thats exactly what I wanted to do for the fog lamps.... or make them appear amber or yellow like older benzes

Whitey

Mich, there are amber bulbs available ya know.

michakaveli

in H1?

Whitey

How many do you want?.......

stemags

Whitey,they make xenon or good bulbs that match the headlites?

I happen to like the courtesy lites,just as gawd said.

The Godfather

Going on w/ the O/T... H1 are the foglights bulb found in the '99 and down W210's? I need to get bluish/hidish ones. Same goes for the parking lites.

Alexbenz

doc you should get them, only about 40 bucks i think, i changed mine,

doc quick question......... on your ride, how's it when you have like 4 people in the car, do you hit, bottom out???? i'm about to get the cupkit... let me know all you can, problems and also benfits...thanks

The Godfather

Try 5 people

I got no problem at all. I hit big all dips onthe freeway at 80mph, no bottoming out. However, when making a U turn, gotta be careful not to crank the wheel al the way b/c it'll rub

Alexbenz

did you have to roll the fenders? also what about any problems hiting the bottom the your kit on the ground or also can you fit on racks if your car needs service?

Whitey

Guys, I seem to recall we'd been through this before. Try the ricer shops down town.

Doc, did you have no luck at the ricer shops a while back when you were looking for city lights and the H1's? I certainly have very white halos and there's newer ones that now put out 6,000-8000K's i.e. very close to HIDs (normal halos generate 2-3,000K's).

As for the city lights I recall some other member recommending a Philips one that's meant to be quite white. I've been using a Japanese version that requires a small modification (filing of the pins) cos the pins aren't exactly the same....let me find the thread for ya.

michakaveli

At least 2 please..... in an H1.... If you can get them send them here please... in 55 watt, done deal

Whitey

Ha, ha, ha, ha! I'll go visit the local ricer shops this weekend then. Yellow or Amber (orange)?

When I had the stock bumper I used a nice multi colour one - very bright (almost white) but with hints of blue, green, yellow, purple etc.....hee, hee. These were so good they outlasted my bimmer (H1's on headlamps and fogs) and just I had to put them on my E (cost about US20-25/pr).

You sure you can't get them in the US?

The Godfather

To get up on certain rack, they gotta use a wood ramp to get me up there. my sideskirts are very low. There used to be a car shop I used to go to, but I dont think I can go there anymore: It's impossible to get in the place. Car is too low. LOL.

I had all fenders rolled. I have some problems now w/ my front left wheel before the caster is off due to the big brake kit install. I'll have it aligned in a couple weeks in LA. SLO shops are stupid and couldn't get it done.

Whitey

Mich and Doc - found some super white (5000K) as well as yellow H1's today (also available in H4 and H7). Reputable Jap brands - Raybrig and PIAAs. Approx. US$40-45. I understand they are available in the US but let me know if you can't locate them.
