Hello all, I have quite the dilemma on my hands. I was recently rear ended really badly and now my front bumper, headlights, hood, grill, rear bumper, trunk, rear diffuser and rear taillights need to be replaced. Since so much needs to be replaced I was thinking of just replacing them with the newer LCI parts. I'm pretty sure the LCI front bumper, hood, rear bumper and trunk will be an easy swap. I will be buying the LED taillights and headlights aftermarket too. The owner of the shop I am going to isn't too sure how the parts will work with SAM or fitment, but I'll be seeing him within the next few days to talk it over. I have halogen headlights currently. but would probably be upgrading to HIDs too.

Will I need to reprogram SAM for the OEM LCI bumper LEDs? If I'm using LCI OEM parts for everything other than the headlights and tailights, will they all fit well on the pre-facelift car? Will the aftermarket headlights work if they are made for the 2012+ model?

I've been reading through this thread: https://mbworld.org/forums/c-class-w...ight-pair.html

I really like the C LED headlights with black housing but I can't find any like the one linked in that thread. I can only find the Big C one...

Are there any specific Headlights, LED taillights or parts you would recommend for LCI conversion of a 2009 C300?

Any tips or advice? Should I even go through with this or should I just have it done back to stock?

Thanks in advance guys, I'm looking forward to your opinions and advice!

Bump! Anyone have any information on doing an LCI convert?

Talk to member Romeo291, he's done it. Link

I actually already did, and he was kind enough to take the time to list out the steps, but I still need more information about wiring the new DEPO headlights and the front bumper LED's.
