W204 aftermarket headlights?

I have a W204 with factory bi-xenon lights and I'm really just wondering why is there literally zero aftermarket options for this.

Well there is one option from Spyder, but it's a preorder and has been on preorder for 2 years now, keeps getting pushed back by 2 months.

I just want the look to be different.

Having said that, WHY won't these after market lights work with factory bi-xenon models? Or would it work but take some modification to do (ie: a new wiring harness or something?)

I don't care if I lose some functionality, like the auto leveling etc I just want to customize my car and no one seems to have an answer.

Why don't you take your OEM headlights and get some work done to them like I did. For example such companies like https://www.lightwerkz.net/

Most people are unwilling to lose auto leveling so the aftermarket brands have to weigh how many lights they can sell vs engineering and production cost for a low run item.
