Installation Requirements
Installation requires access to the DRL modules located at the rear of both headlights. The headlight lenses do not need to be separated from the housings for this installation method.
Rear Headlight Module Access
The original DRL modules must be accessed from the rear of the headlights before the corresponding circuit boards can be removed and replaced.
Wheel or Headlight Removal
Depending on the available workspace and installation method, removing the front wheels or removing the complete headlight assemblies may provide easier access to the DRL modules.
Controller and Wiring Connection
RGB+W versions additionally require the supplied controller to be mounted and connected to the replacement boards using the included wiring.
Why Choose DRLs Direct?
Multiple W205 headlight configurations Options for compatible 2014–2018 and 2019–2021 headlights
Separate replacement board configurations are available for compatible 2014–2018 headlights, 2019–2021 Full-LED headlights and 2019–2020 LED-Multibeam headlights.
Developed for compatible original headlights Vehicle-specific board shapes and mounting positions
The replacement boards are developed using original headlight data to correspond with the board shapes and mounting positions used by the supported Mercedes-Benz headlight configurations. These are aftermarket replacement boards and are not original Mercedes-Benz parts.
Fixed Red lighting option A bold single-color appearance for supported models
The Red version provides a permanently selected red appearance whenever the daytime running lights are active, without requiring an app or separate color controller.
Fixed Yellow lighting option A distinctive motorsport-inspired DRL appearance
The Yellow version provides a permanently selected yellow daytime running light appearance for compatible 2014–2018 headlight configurations.
Wide RGB color spectrum Personalize the daytime running light appearance
The RGB+W version allows you to choose from a broad range of colors and personalize the lighting through the compatible smartphone app.
Dedicated white LED channel A separate white tone alongside the RGB spectrum
In addition to the adjustable RGB color spectrum, the RGB+W boards include a dedicated white LED channel for a cleaner white appearance than a tone created solely by mixing RGB colors.
App-controlled lighting functions Colors, brightness and supported lighting modes
The compatible smartphone app provides access to available color selection, brightness adjustment and supported static or dynamic lighting modes.
RGB+W controller and wiring included Required control components supplied with the RGB+W version
RGB+W packages include the corresponding controller and connection wiring required for app-controlled operation. Separate mounting and electrical connection of the controller are required during installation.
Complete set for both headlights Coordinated lighting across the complete front end
Each package includes the required replacement DRL boards for the left and right headlights. RGB+W packages additionally include the controller and connection wiring.
Designed around the original headlight configuration Changes the DRL appearance without intentional alteration of other functions
When the correct boards are selected and installed properly, the upgrade is intended to change the daytime running light color without intentionally altering separate headlight functions. Compatibility can depend on the installed headlight configuration.
