if you really like it, just replace the whole thing. you can get a set L/R for under $20 from ebay. otherwise, just simply remove it. imo, it doesnt belong where it is atm.

Yeah, I'll have to do something for sure! I do like it though. Hmmm, we'll see!

Yeah I can do that. Actually after some more troubleshooting, it could be a wiring issue. When I unplug the parking bulb on that same side the entire hockey light goes off. Also the issue started after I replaced the led parking light on that side. I thought it was a coincidence at first but now I am not so sure.

The wagons in Canada when they first arrived had an AMG styling package and the hockey stick DRLs.

That does not look good. Sorry. Get those hockey's out of there.

I would see if the foglight grills are replaceable without the whole bumper. If they are, I would buy new Hockey grills and OEM hockey LED's and install them in place of the halogen foglights.

The most I would do is get rid of the after-market hockeys just so I don't have to deal with aftermarket parts. I like the halogen fogs. I have to figure out how to remove the hockeys as well. Too bad none of this area is easily accessible. I do see that the hockeys are "bolted" on into the mesh grill.

Sorry to bother again, but have you had chance to get some more pics?
Thinking of ordering the grill soon...
