Questions about Daytime running light.

[Guest JonOPH]

Hi guys, I would like to ask if there is a way for me to turn on my daytime running lights when my headlight is on? I noticed that other model like the E and S class that I've seen have the daytime running light switched on even though that the headlights is on, my my C class doesn't do the same. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance! :bounce:

Hi bro,

this had been discussed before. For the headlight and DRL to be on at the same time, the car has to be fitted with the Intelligent Light System.. This is not a standard on all C Class models.. If I don't remember wrongly, it is a $5k option..

[Guest JonOPH]

Thanks for the swift reply, you mean I have to pay 5k more for an option to turn on my lights? That sucks.

[Guest manmerlion]

This means my car, also C180K, is equipped with SLS (Stupid Light System). :Cry:

Unfortunately.. Yes..

But even if you are willing to pay, not sure if C n C will do it for u.. I think this is factory fitted.. (but I may be wrong)

ILS is standard on the C350 but not the C180 and C200. It is unlikely that CnC will have ready stock of the C180 with ILS, so you will need to pay $5300 and indent the car. Then wait for months for the car to assemble and shipped.

Yours truely here just did that, now I have to wait for my C180 to assemble in Nov 2011 and wait for it to deliver in Jan/Feb 2012. It's going to be an agonizing wait.:Cry:

[Guest arshavin]

same fate my friend. if u wan a nice nice ILS, u need to WAIT till next year for your new C180K.. and it wont come with the current 125i promotion free installation, specially command online wont be installed with your new car.

that why i choose to make do with SLS inside my incoming car C180K next mth.

work hard to change in future to C350 maybe. haha

Congrats Bro Yap!!! Wow C180 with ILS...:thumb:

Jan/Feb 2012 is indeed a long wait...but it will be worth waiting!

Look forward to our next meet up and listen to how you Jeepz See & See...:becky:

Alternatively why not get a workshop to simply install an override switch or mod so you can choose when to have the DRL on or not ?

The 5k is not the hard wiring that cost you so much is the chio xenon headlight set. I hv seen in person is not like those cheapo HID set cost that you only couple of hundred.

[Guest chiaster]

yes! the factory-fitted ILS xenon headlights are very cool! we're not just talking about bulbs and wiring here but the whole assembly! :thumb:

Autospritz is a good place to start but almost every workshop should be able to do it for you

[Guest manmerlion]

The default headlamp is yellow while DRL is white, it looks odd to have both of them switched on at the same time.

So, the mod has to include changing the headlamps to white as well.

Bingo!!! Is a MUST mods for non xenon headlight ride. Also change the high beam to white light too, else if u high beam orange light the fellow infront will laugh at you. My fren say one.

[Guest manmerlion]

For that matter...the pre FL W204 seems to have the last laugh coz their headlight came with projector lens n can be mod to HID easily n cheaper also...:bounce:

...DRL can be installed w/o much difficulty too :becky:

[Guest rssid]

yup should invite them (autospritz) to become a site sponsor everytime I visit them they have plenty of mercs being worked on so they should have the knowledge on how to work on our cars

[Guest kepiting1sg]

Dear all,

IMHO

All aftermarket H.I.Ds are illegal and U are safe as long as U are not caught.

Even U have projector lens in the pre FL is also illegal.

Like Bro Chiaster has mentioned, it not just plugging in a pair of after mkt H.I.D bulbs set which U can get as low as <$100 per set. Beside the whole xenon lamp assembly, factory fitted car comes with auto-leveling device.

This factory auto-levelling device for Xenon headlamps has been made compulsory for all new cars by LTA a few years back.

Just like the army - U can do whatever U want but dun get caught!

[Guest Silver33]

No, now it's really Intelligent enough to auto dim inn the night.

On - Off switch only turn on the DRL totally hence it will be too Bright in the night and that's dangerous.
