DRL's now an Option

[jwight]

Try the configurator link from one of the smart centers; I used smart Cincy to check the DRL option.

BTW, what's the $50 for anyway? Do they need to add different lights or wiring for the DRLs? If not, and it's just a tweak to the ECU done as your car is being built, what are we paying for?

Besides, MB does not use the low-beam HIDs for the DRLs on any model I can think of; they use the parking lights.

Get the facts str8. There is no Benz that uses blinkers as drls my girl has a c class 2007 and it's lowbeam hid drls

Call Benz to find out

There we go... price did go up a little bit.

my price may have gone up a bit, but it will be offset a little by me not having to pay for metalic when I get my rally red.

How's your reading comprehension? I said they use the parking lights, which are separate from the blinkers on all MBs, including the smart. And I didn't state anything as fact.

Using the high-beams as DRLs, as you suggest, wouldn't solve your issue...current MBs have bi-xenons. That is a fact.

[Smart09]

they use their low beams not the parking lights. Take it from a person who drives the car to know. No beef. Just a fAct

Using the highbeam of the car in a reduced voltage will be better than using the low beams that Benz does.

Not using the bixenon but the highbeam on the side
