Can I use my fog lights as daytime running lights? 2007 W164

Hello,

i search the forum but i can't find any solution. My mercedes is 2007 European.
And In my country, it is mandatory to turn on the headlights during the day. (Main headlight, fog light or drl does not matter)

Currently, from the comfort features of the car (adjusted from the steering wheel), automatic daytime running lights are turned on. (In this mode Headlights are always on)
but I only want the fog lights to be on during the day. (I saw another ML like this in traffic today) (I have stock fog lights H3.)

I have XENTRY program and adapter. Is this possible via Xentry or otherwise?

Only way is switch on dash. Then you get park lights and taillights too

This place is a joke.
You can tap into the fog light wiring with a relay triggered by a key-on source. There is no way to do it through programming.
