W212 Daytime running lights
Hi all,
Starting this thread as I have seen several threads detailing suitable LED replacements for some, but not all, front facing lights for the base W212 E Class.
The most often neglected bulb is that for the DRL for the lower or base spec W212 E class. I've not seen a thread on this newer than 10 years so I thought I'd start one.
I have recently replaced most of the front facing bulbs of my E-class with LEDs. For the DRLs for the models with the round fogs, suitable LEDs would be PSX26W bulbs.
The installation is semi-permanent but with a hammer and flat-head screwdriver the OEM bulbs can be removed and replaced.
For my car I took the bumper off to replace the bulbs. I don't know whether this DRL replacement would be viable without removing the bumper.
