New to MB World+Questions

Hello everyone, I recently made the wise decision of ditching the unhelpful benzworld, for the ''better'' website mbworld. I'm still completely new to all of this so please bare with me if I posted in the incorrect forum. I have posted on this forum since i'm an owner of a GLK (x204)

Question One(more like 2in1) : Is there anyway I can swap out my fog lamps and install the LED DRL Strip? If so, where can I buy? I searched the x204 forum for this same question but it seems that everyone who has upgraded didn't have the Lighting Package so i'm not sure whether or not that makes a difference, because my car does have the lighting pkg.
Example: http://www.ebay.com/itm/LED-daytime-running-light-DRL-fog-lamp-cover-for-BENZ-GLK300-GLK350-GLK500-08-/321126632638?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Model%3AGLK350&hash=item4ac4a38cbe&vxp=mtr
Question Two: I'm not able to to get my rear view mirror to tilt in reverse. I've tried the directions from another forum. Maybe i'm not doing it correctly.

Any help, or response is very much appreciated.

I would suggest you got to mbusa.com - Owner Support section - download your Owner's Manual - save pdf file - see page #28 I believe

Welcome !

1. From the ebay link you provided, it seems like an easy job.
I have lighting package on my 10' GLK too.
While I like the newer LED lights but I still prefer the fog lights, it's more practical for me.

2. As fabbrisd1 suggested, follow the instructions from the manual.
Note: the right side mirror switch (on the driver's door) has to be ON in order for the right side mirror to tilt when you put your car into reverse.

Should I buy them and get them installed at a shop? Or Should I buy some factory ones from the Dealer? I also was thinking about adding Running boards

It's really up to you to decide where to get the LED lights.
It doesn't hurt to check with the dealer.
For me, I'll try to install it myself as it look fairly straight forward.

For running boards, I've just installed mine recently.
The job took me about 2 hours.
There is a write up about installing running board somewhere in this forum.
