Active Lighting "A" mode in daylight
Before I have a fit at the dealership, can someone with a GLK and the Active Lighting package tell me EXACTLY which bulbs are on (front, rear, side-total count) in daylight conditions with the main switch set to "A". Photos would be great. Thanks!

mine have the LED DRL on when set to A and in daytime.. once it starts to get a little dark or even a cloudy day your headlights come on automatically really haven't looked at the book yet to see what settings the lights have..

Thanks Ralph. That won't please the Minister of Transportation & Finance. She wants her lights and she wants them now. We shall adapt.
Perhaps there is a sensitivity scale that can be adjusted to make the lights come on sooner?

I have 2010, so my DRLs are xenons and are always on (could be disabled).
If you want your lights on I think you can just put them into "on" position. They will still turn off when car is shut off, I believe that how it works on mine.
LED DRLs are a good idea so xenons don't burn out as fast.

Thanks. We are cool now. My only nit to pick is not including the taillights in the DRL scheme. There are lots of drain bamaged folks out there who could easily run into us from behind and claim they never saw us.

Update. Mercedes-Benz Drain Bamage Bizzaro Lighting Package Scheme.
Light switch on "A": Front amber parking light & lowrider mounted LED strip on. Rear tailights off. WTF?
Rear Fog Light ON. Front lowrider LED strip off. WTF? WTF?
Real front fog lights gone. Replaced by part time LED strip. There is room for both. There is room for more LEDs on the chrome strip. WTF? WTF? WTF? WTF?
The Bi-Xenons and cornering lamps are worth ALL of the above WTF were thinking clueless bone head terminally dumb decisions on the secondary lights.

EDIT:
The outside mirror mounted LED turn signals are amber. The rear LED turn signals are red. Dumb! I know. Old news. One more brain dead dumb thing to do.
