Fog/Day Time Lights

Anyone install either fog or daytime running lights on their E459? Which ones did you use, how did you mount them? Thanks for any replies.

Guess you mean e450? Would like to do it to mine. Is there a way to put a auto on off light switch?

Yup E450 fat fingered it. I would be happy with a lighted switch or wired to 12 volt associated with the ignition.

I just want the lights to turn off with key. For a 12 volt source off of key I had to go to steps on MH.

Just come up to Canada and buy a daytime light running module and plug it in, we have to have lights on all the time. ( at least some form of lights)

Was just up there a few weeks ago. Wish I had stopped at a ford dealer.

Cut the wire that controls automatic dimming. GPS will stay at full brightness, but you can still dim it manually if needed. (Blue/Black wire). Note that the screen turns to black background based on the time set on the clock, not operation of the headlights, etc.
