It's my understanding that MB Canada, always looking for economies wherever possible, hires undocumented homeless persons to drive the cars from the port to the inland dealer locations. So, if they go by way of perhaps Flin Flon, it could take longer.

If the car has LEDs at the rear, they are the turn light segment only. The factory all LED rear lights will be on the facelift 2012 model, due out mid-summer.
If the car does not have the LED rear turn lights, you can buy and install the factory taillights that contain them with no worries about light warnings since they are interchangeable with no other action required. Aftermarket LED lights are another matter, depending on who builds them, apparently.

As an update to my post above, I have been admiring the all-LED rear lights on the facelift W204 which is now only months away.
Since I had previously purchased a Euro pair of rear lights with yellow LEDS from MBenzNL to replace my OE lights (with red LEDS) , I am going to contact them about buying a pair of the new lights which look like a direct interchange and would update the car a bit. What I will have to research beforehand would be a possible technical problem with all LEDs in the entire unit in that the lamp out warning module may want to see more current flow and thus illuminate the bulb-out light. This would make the plan a non-starter for me since I have no interest in any Chinese made lamps.
The all inclusive cost of the Euro lights in 2009 (delivered to my door) was only about $310.00 so this is not that big a deal.
I also purchased my new style but still folding outside mirrors from MBenzNL.com and found them very good to deal with.
Further, for those who hate any wood trim inside and you know who you are, yesterday I received (from Schatz in Munich, another very professional outfit, looks like) my new burl walnut and cashmere beige leather steering wheel. Ordered online and eight days later the mailman brought it to the door. Came DHL to New York and then USPS to Seattle in eight days which is very good.

Well a week has gone by and the still can't tell me when it's going to arrive. They say it shows as "delayed" because of the weather at the pick up city - Halifax
