Dealer Installing HID Kits on All Preowned W212s

See title of thread...is this even legal?
I went to my dealership to have my wood trim replaced and noticed that all of their preowned E classes with premium one package have white LED parking bulbs and HID aftermarket kits...
The kits are visible in the photos of the preowned cars on:
www.keyeseuropean.com

Strange,huh?

i guess the previous owners had them installed prior instead of the dealer.

If the dealership is installing them then they are violating the law.

Is the dealer trying to pass it off as if they came equipped with the car? Doesn't make sense..

It would be under modification which is illegal for the dealerships.

Yes, it was my all time fear that dealers change good parts for bad, and then sell good parts for drugs or something.
