I am curious about these. I have seen these kits on eBay as well. Can you please let me know how it works out, I would be keen to do it if it's good quality and works as stated (auto on/off). Apparently they can wire up straight to the battery via an included box that controls the on/off somehow?

Yes That's supposed to be a turn signal. I don't think you would want to wire that part. I saw another kit that doesn't have the amber turn signal bar, it's more like the OEM DRL which only has the white led strip.

This is the kit I'm talking about: http://www.ebay.com/itm/For-Benz-GLK...-/271449787518

No amber strip, just DRL LED. Anyway Please post pictures of your work I'm very curious to see it!

Thanks

Several other sellers have what is probably the exact same thing for a bit less $ (don't forget shipping!); here is one:

Any pictures? Does the wiring look like it will just plug in? I assume you compared the parts and it will fit before you take everything apart?

Thanks

Hey ,
Iam using the box provided with the DRL , + - and dimming function.

I went straight at it like a warrior , and what a battle to remove this original foglight , really so much sweat went , pulling , pushing , no i have one led in i go back for the second one .


I didnt check nothing before starting , and i dont think i can use the foglight plug because it might throw a code

the dimming is nice it light off the led bar and light the amber bar above led .


Now where to wire the + that it light up the led , after the car started ?

Hey iam finally done with the DRL install , it look amazing , will take picture ASAP.

I wired it on a switched live , i still need to wire the diming when headlight are on .

I dont know where to put this dimming wire yet .


The thing is i have hallogen headlight , yellow tint , and the dimming amber from the DRL will match it nicely once wired to dim

*Because now the led are blue and the headlight yellowish
