In my opinion, you don't need to see the difference. You can just forget about halogen lights, cause if you get them, you'd just want to sell the car and buy one with LED>

True. However, having to replace an LED headlight (probably $600++) vs. a DIY halogen bulb ($10) makes a huge difference. ​​But again, LEDs look way better. Beside overall looks I don't like the placement of the turn signals on the halogen either.

you clearly haven't seen the headlights up close and personal. You can't open the headlights to replace led bulbs. You'll have to cut it open.

The LED emitters "should" last the life of the car. If anything fails is will be the regulating circuit not the emitters.

Right, that is why it should be over $600 as you have to replace the whole assembly. You can't just change a bulb as opposed to halogen.

Like the other guys said, it lasts the life of the car. You're not expected to change it like halogen

Fingers crossed. As we know electronics are the most vulnerable on these cars.

I have had every type of headlamps imaginable including tungsten, halogen, xenon, and now the LEDs on my C450. I thought my BMW xenons were fantastic, but I can now say the MB LEDs are by far the best headlight I have ever had. They will light up a stop sign from 100 yards in broad daylight and provide amazing road coverage at night. Pay up and get them; you will not be disappointed.
