Mercedes W166 ML Coding Headlights

Hi everyone,

I am very familiar with bmw coding to customize the headlights and many other things in the vehicle. I was wondering if there was some way to do something similar in mercedes vehicles.

For example, I am trying to code my headlights so that I can drive around on the orange eyebrow on US cars/white eyebrow on Euro cars. I cannot even use the headlight switch at the moment to bypass the automatic headlight mode. Does anyone have any information about coding or even how to switch the headlights on/off etc?

I have attached a picture of what I am looking to do. Let me know guys. Thank you!

Mercedes does not offer the convenience of coding, I have a 2014 ML and love it but find it frustrating with all the restrictions and map costs. I sold my E Class and bought a BMW 5 Series and think so much of easy it is update all your software via the BMW website and a USB, I also love map updates under $50.00 and really love coding all the features you want to act the way you want them to work.

Ya I totally agree. Do you know what program/software to use or what have you used to customize stuff like the headlights for Mercedes? I feel like the car is in control of itself way too much for that sort of stuff. Is there anything like BMW inpa or Carly?
