Hi all
I have searched all over the forum and web.
As well as calling few places that sell the kit.

The Forum is scattered every place cant find a full thread about this.

I see chris the swede post his setup and that we dont need to go the replace the sam route.
Not sure the Active Cornering(AHL) ,Night Vision ,Intelligent Lighting will work.
I dont think my 07 s65 has AHL. It does have night vision.

I find part # difrent but with same options dont know if ones us and one not.
2218200959 and A2218206739 and A2218201059

Would be nice to have it all work even if the car did not come with the option.

The kits I see are from
Sonic MS
Bekkers / Driiv Autosport

and no sam kit
toaauto

As for the bumper with DRL.
oem i only see with Parktronic for the 2010+
Even tho Sonic MS sells it with out and tells me its oem real MB.

Bekkers can only get with Parktronic sensors holes.

ebay shows some kits not oem and cant tell what plug they are using for the DRLs.

and some show bumpers with and with out side markers.

Now about the grill. I have distronic plus whats the best grill for the best price?
I see ebay $330-160 for the grill with the d plate.

Hope I can get some help with this asap I need to get the parts asap.
Hit a deer so perfect time to do it

interesting 179 views and no reply...

I know about searching but like I was saying b4 every thing is no in one place and some things are still not clear.

I just picked up headlights will post some pics asap.

Waiting to order the bumpers from Gary.
LA Customs had a strike so containers are being held up.

After looking at grills some say theres works with distronic plus.
Don't know if I should just get oem or not.
Or get strut or something different.
oem 2010+ grill $1790

Think I will be going with toaauto for the harness kit.

Having a problem with the front bumper.
I have a 07 S65 and got a after market 10+ S65/63 bumper kit with no parking holes.
After taking off my bumper we find mine has 4 sensors Boxes.
The new bumper only has spots for 2 and they dont fit the ones I have.

Any one know a fix or whats worked for them?
Maybe whats the correct oem bumper and parts?

Here are some photos of my new bumper and pic of what a old one looks like.

This is what the sensor looks like.

I can't believe I never found this post when I was searching!

I did full body kit and have distronic plus, so I had to fabricate all of the brackets for the sensors and modify the bumpers as well.
I also found the aftermarket grilles will not work with distronic (they plated the entire acrylic plate with a foil backing Duh?)

Have you tried the AMG specific forums? Might have more luck.

I have now tried 2 different headlight harnesses and SAMs from Bekkers. Same symptoms with both. No crank/no start, ESP error on panel, Xentry shows SAM is not programmed.
