Question LED Daytime Light Fog Replacement?

I need help.

I want to replace the front LED Daytime Light Fog on my 2013 GL550 (W166) with the AMG package but there is no visible screw to remove the chrome trim. How do I remove the chrome trim in order to replace the LED light unit? Thank you.
Olivier

looks like water got into them ... i have found that so many many of the parts throughout the whole car (internal and external) the whole car industry for that matter, rarely use screws, more like snap on / snap in pieces that often you have to guestimate where the tabs are ... give me a good old fashion screw ... lol ... good luck and will
be following ... please post details with your success ... i still haven't found a way of reaching/accessing my same model year as yours the front turn signals ... so frustrating ...

Correct. This is why the light dies. I want to replace the LED unit but before I need to remove the Chrome trim and not sure how to taking off without damage. Any advice?

Take a look at this thread from a few days ago. It has instructions and pictures for the DRL removal:
