My 2012 W212 has LED strip daytime running lights where in prior years, I believe, there were fog lights.

Anyone neatly integrate fog lights on a 2012?

FWIW, this is not a complaint, as this is the first car I have owned in a long time that did not have fog lights. '91 Maxima, '93 BMW, '96 Audi, '00 BMW, '02 Volvo, '06 Audi and '09 Honda all had/have fog lights.

If the answe is no, not going to happen, I'm ok with that. Just curious- but if it is doable, I'm all ears

Thanks all-

PS- on an entirely unrelated note, while I am from NY, I was recently at an MB dealer in Westminster, CO. What an inventory of AMGs

some has changed their stock fog lights to drl. so im guessing its possible to do the reverse but that means giving up your drls. cant have the best of both worlds.

I first had a 2011 E350 and soon traded it in for a 2010 E550. Both car came with the "hockey stick" DRLs. No separate fog lights.


Fog light function is built-in with the main head lights.


I would think a 2012 model would be the same.

My 2011 E350 came with the sports attire with Bi-Xenon head lights including the "Hockey Stick" LED Daytime Running Lights (like my 2010 E550 is).


This car had a fog light button next to the main light switch. When I pressed this button the rear driver side fog light came on and the head lights went to low beam shortest distance beams.


Bi-xenon lights have a shutter that control the light beam and when set to shortest distance works well for fog light function so separate fog light is not needed.


Cars with the four round lights at the skirt in front have no Bi-xenon lights. Two of these round lights are DRLs and the other two are fog lights.

thanks for that. always thought that fog light switch was just for the rear fog light and doesnt have any effect on the front headlights. good to know. cheers!
