If it won't look factory looking, leave it alone. How do you intend to install?

I'm not sure on how to install it. Just wanted some input on how it would look. I notice that the S class headlights have a different design compared to the E class. I guess it depends on the design of the headlight.

Leave it alone. I would add HIDs if you do not already have P2.

I am a firm believer in less is best, unless from the factory. I wouldn't bother doing it. Just my opinion.

I agree with you guys. I would definitely regret it if I got it done.

No photo reference, just referring to the led headlights of the 2012 S class. After thinking about it, I should just leave it the way it is.

Everybody is doing that. Do you want to be like everyone else? One reason I like the hockey sticks, they are unique!!

The newer E's with the straight LED's may lack some "LED decor" elements, as they're quite straightforward (a good thing in this day with goofeball LED's everywhere actually). However, IMO the hockey sticks with the non cluttered/clean/non lit-up headlights looks mean and very cool, and distinct IMO.
Aftermarket LED's on headlight units is a good way to cheap any car to hell.
