But the LEDs are no fog lamps but Euro DLR lights. The intelligent light system takes care of the fog lamp feature when the car has these LEDs.

You should understand, of course, that the LEDs on the W212 are NOT foglights but are instead daytime running lights, i.e. designed so your car can be more visible in daylight and NOT for any particular driver visibility effect.
eBay must by now be filled with chintzy solutions for this.

1. The user spent money on something that reduces functionality from stock.

There are a few mods I feel fall into place.. lately the black painted tails have been a pet peeve too. If you have ever been rear ended before, you would never want to reduce the visibility / reaction time of the drivers behind you. I like the candy red jobs but deep smoke tinting your tails reduces safety and also gives police another thing to get you for, as its usually illegal as well.

"failmod" - good descriptive word. E.g. Carbon fibre is supposed to save weight. Adding an extra layer of fake carbon fibre decoration *adds* weight (not much, but still...). Pet peeve... ;-)
On the other hand, true freedom requires maximum tolerance. :-)

Those look really nice, how much did it cost for the lights and install? Did you replace the bottom grille with amg mesh? or did u have the AMG package to begin with? I have the standard E500 black plastic on the bottom grille, i would like to replace it anyways.
