Hi,

I was just wondering is there Programmable DRL in the 2005 E500. If so do i have to take it to the dealership or can i do it myself?

Moved to correct forum. Now please read your owner's manual. Or in lieu of this search MBWorld. Most of your present and future questions have already been asked and answered.

Yes there is--your owners manual explains how to program it via steering wheel buttons.

If they're Bi Xenon, I know there is a setting for "Headlights On" for sure. I know for my Bi-xenon, they're not labled DRLs because DRLs are really the brights run at 1/2 poere, but with xenons, they're just on. Replacement xenon bulbs are expensive so I keep my "DRLs" off but set to "Auto" on the headlight switch.

I also keep my switch on the "Auto" feature.

Instead of using the headlights, you can position your switch to the parking lights. So during the day the parking lights can be on instead of the headlights. I've seen a couple cars around my area do that.
