Why no lighting package on Cs? (Discounts for new 2012 C?)

I am very new to this forums. Thank you very much for helping me out in advance.

I am trying to buy a 2012 C class in RDU, NC area. All the dealers I have visited have no C with lighting package. I find the stock light is extremly unappealing. Is after market lighting easy to get?

Test drove C350 and C250. Find C250 has a better ban for the money. I did not get a chance to drive C300 Matic, none of this dealers have it stocked.

Year ending now, should be a good time to get a good deal. How much dicount can I get from the dealer to be consider as a must-take deal? (Invoice price? or certain percentage off MSRP?)

Thanks guys

James

Believe it or not, the reason it's hard to find a 2012 C-250 or C-300 with Xenon's is because the plant that made them was in Japan and was severely damaged by the earthquake and tsunami. The limited availability of the lights made them mostly available on only the higher end, fully equipped C-350's. However, you're on the Coupe thread... there is no C-300 coupe.
