2024 GLE 450 questions

Good afternoon

I was wondering 2 things. First is does the AMG rear diffuser fit my GLE 450 with the trailer hitch?

Second is has anyone found an LED brake light that fits in the trailer hitch and plugs into the tow hitch plug? Dont want to cut it up to make some of them work.

Thanks in advance,

Mike

Such things will disable safety features such as Blind Spot warning, and put the car in Tow-haul mode, which changes trans/engine mapping and fixes your air suspension in non Sport configuration.
Anything that plugs into the 7 pin plug will do that. I think.

If you decide to try one, I'd make sure you can return it.
