Is it possible to keep the bottom row of LEDs on at night with the headlights off? Whether its fog lamps or the DRLs, just curious how it works. This is for a 2012 Mercedes Benz CLS550.

For a ​​2012 Mercedes-Benz CLS550​​, the bottom row of LEDs you’re referring to are likely the ​​Daytime Running Lights (DRLs)​​ or ​​fog lights​​, depending on the trim and configuration. Here’s how you can approach keeping them on at night without the headlights:

​​1. Understanding the CLS550’s Lighting System​​ ​​Factory DRLs​​: On the CLS550 (W218), the LED strips are typically the ​​DRLs​​, which automatically dim or turn off when the headlights are activated (per Mercedes’ design). ​​Fog Lights​​: If equipped, the fog lights are usually separate circular units below the bumper. These can only be turned on manually (via the headlight switch) and require the headlights or parking lights to be active first. ​​2. Legal and Safety Considerations​​ ​​DRLs at Night​​: In many regions, driving with only DRLs at night is ​​illegal​​, as they lack rear illumination and proper beam focus. Fog lights may also have usage restrictions. ​​Mercedes’ Programming​​: The CLS550’s DRLs are designed to switch off when the headlights are turned on to comply with regulations. Overriding this may require coding. ​​3. Methods to Enable LEDs Without Headlights​​ ​​Option 1: Use the DRL Setting via Instrument Cluster​​ Some Mercedes models allow adjusting DRL behavior through the dashboard menu:

Turn the ignition to ​​ON​​ (do not start the engine). Navigate to the ​​Settings​​ menu using the steering wheel controls. Look for ​​Lighting​​ or ​​DRL​​ options. If available, toggle the DRL setting to ​​“Always On”​​ (note: this may still require parking lights to be active). ​​Note​​: On pre-2014 models, this feature is often limited, and DRLs may still shut off when headlights are manually activated.

​​Option 2: Coding with STAR Diagnosis or Third-Party Tools​​ To fully override the factory settings, you’ll need to modify the car’s software:

​​STAR Diagnosis System​​: A Mercedes-specific tool used by dealerships or specialists. Coding can: Disable the DRL dimming/shutoff when headlights are on. Enable fog lights to operate independently (if legally permitted). ​​Third-Party Coders​​: Tools like ​​VEDRHO​​ or ​​Carista​​ (limited support for older models) may offer basic DRL customization. ​​Cost​​: Coding typically costs ​​50–150​​ at an independent Mercedes specialist.

​​Option 3: Wiring Modifications (Advanced)​​ For fog lights or DRLs:

​​Fog Light Bypass​​: Tap into the fog light wiring and connect them to a switched power source (e.g., ignition line) using a relay. This allows fog lights to operate independently. ​​Caution​​: May trigger error codes or drain the battery if not fused properly. ​​DRL Harness Modification​​: Install a DRL control module (e.g., ​​iJDMTOY DRL Harness​​) to keep the LEDs on continuously. ​​4. Key Challenges​​ ​​CAN Bus Integration​​: The CLS550’s lighting is managed by the ​​Front SAM​​ (Signal Acquisition Module). Unauthorized modifications can trigger fault codes (e.g., "Bulb Out" warnings). ​​Legal Compliance​​: Check local laws (e.g., US FMVSS, EU ECE) to avoid fines. Fog lights often require headlights to be on. ​​Recommended Solution​​ For a 2012 CLS550, the most reliable method is ​​coding via STAR Diagnosis​​ to reconfigure the DRL behavior. Independent Mercedes shops can perform this quickly. If coding isn’t feasible, a ​​DRL harness​​ or fog light bypass (with proper relays/fuses) is a workaround.

​​Example Coding Changes​​ ​​DRL Activation​​: Set DRL via Terminal 58d to Active in the Front SAM. ​​Fog Light Independence​​: Adjust Fog Light Logic to No Dependency on Low Beam. Always test adjustments in a safe, legal environment.

Небольшой комплекс 👨‍🔧 работ по #W218 #CLS350. Основная задача стояла, чтобы активная система сигнализации 🔺перестроения 🔺 заработала. Для этого пришлось снимать задний бампер, так как один из радаров 😓 не работал. После ремонта радара, система снова заработала✔️. Далее обновили ПО двигателя на актуальную версию. Сняли ограничение крутящего момента, настроили педаль. Теперь старт 🛫 станет немного шустрее. Отремонтировали систему парковки, один из парктроников отсутствовал. Теперь этот #MB в отличном состоянии 😜 (at Moscow, Russia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B85u3HPoeAm/?igshid=1nzexm8jjxz5i
