I'd like the lower LED lights to match

I'd like the lower LED lights in the front bumper to match the color temperature of the LED running lights in the headlight housing. 2012. Thoughts?

I'd love that too. Why in the world they didn't match in the first place on a $100k vehicle should be the question.

No doubt. I can't tell if the housing makes them look muted or if the LEDs are actually a diff temp. I'll figure it out. If I remember correctly, they match on the S class. That's the look I want.

While you're 100% right, I guess it just hasn't bothered me enough to look into it yet. Now that you've brought it up, I'm sure I'll start to notice more.

Window Tint

This bothered me -- I solved this by applying a thin strip of grey window tint to the lower lights. All is good now, looking like it should have in the first place.

Appreciate the feedback all. Haven't found the solution I'm looking for yet. Missing my baby though, at the dealer with a bent wheel, cool 2600 for a new one. Lookout for those potholes! lol

I saw a photo of a W218 in one of the vendor's wheel threads here where the lower LEDs were moved down slightly (as opposed to being pinned right where the bumper meets the fog grille) and they also seemed to be a different shape or type of light. I'm not sure if there is a product for sale somewhere to address this issue and transform to said look?

edit: Tried searching, couldn't find much. Maybe I saw an SL550 or E-Class and confused it. Either way I am shocked there is not a solution or better product. The front lower LEDs ruin the front end, everything else is gorgeous!
