2008 Pre-facelift --> 2013 Post-facelift
Does anybody know the level of difficulty or what's involved in retro-fitting a 2013 Xenon Post-facelift headlight into a 2008 Pre-facelift Xenon?
I currently have the OEM Bi-xenon package. I know I would have to get a new hood and possibly a new bumper.
I was curious on what's involved in the wiring of the LED signal lights and the "C" shaped parking lights on the 2013 lights. The oem bi-xenon should be plug and play right?
Anyone done this yet?

I don't think the lights would be plug and play. The 2012+ cars with ILS have a camera behind the rearview mirror as well as the integrated cornering lights and such within the headlamps that respond to steering or signal inputs.

C200 / 2008, I just change the external mirrors, led and wheels.
Now i am ready to change the front bumper and lights, just waiting for the hood.
Some of my doubts will be about internal parts (lights base, bumper base)
I have the lights (not xenon) i will check the connector to see if are the same

It's doable, one of the member here from Spain put the non bi-xenon ones on and modified his OEM hood to get it to fit. Here's a video of someone that did it already, they have a phone number:
