DRL control switch

I figured you'd have to just wire them into a hot wire so that they would on all the time, at least on a 2010.
I found this control switch on amazon that will turn on the DRL's when the car is on, this way you don't have to use the fog switch and you can possibly leave the fog alms in place and mount a led strip above them

2010 Glk350
Hi, new member here. Just picked up a used 2010 glk350. Enjoying it very much as its my first mb I've owned. I too was interested in this retrofit. I saw an item on ebay that looks like they sell the entire assembly. I have the link below. The price seems reasonable, but it's coming from china. But just like with anyone else, I'm a bit skeptical buying Chinese products. It could be a perfect fit as well as It could not. I just want to know what your opinions are. Thanks.

Regarding the aftermarket LEDs linked above, Go factory orgininal, or go home. The aftermarket LEDs appear to be useless. I have observed our factory LEDs in my rear view mirror from a considerable distance. They are BRIGHT. They WORK.
