Smile Mercedes DRL on my IS

As most of you would know I could not get our OEM DRL lights installed on my IS from my dealership nor could I do it myself.

So I just got myself the E class's DRL lights and installed on my baby today. Don't know if anyone else will like it , but it I think it will do ( Also because I didn't want to drill holes on my bumper ). Here are the pics below.

Where did you buy them from? Are they authentic Mercedes parts?

No, I don't think they are original Mercedes parts too, But it looks very similar to the one they have on the E-class.

Actually I don't really care if it's original or not , it'll be nice if it lasted a year at least.

That's alright. I like it though ( I just say that to keep myself contended )

Looks nice; however, it would have been better if they were fitted somewhere near the fog lights but that would've required tons of custom work.

Yeah I guess it would have been better if it was there but then it would look like exactly like the E class plus I could never drill holes on my baby
