Pictures of Your ILS Headlight Connectors NEEDED! Thanks in advance!

Hello

I am attempting to retrofit ILS to my vehicle and some pictures from you guys with ILS already would be helpful. This wont take more than 5 minutes for you to do.

I would like pictures of any and all vehicles.

One from each year would be cool.
2015, 2016, 2017 2018 if possible. c400 c450 or c43 all good. MUST BE USA Car. Canada may be ok but i really want usa car as we have different headlight laws that remove features. Euro cars can post if you like but i believe I already know what you have.

All i need you to do is pop hood and take a picture of the gray headlight connector for the left side and right side. Please let me know which picture is which side. I would appreciate focused pictures on the wires coming out of the connectors. I need to see how many wires and what colors they are.

C300 with ILS is acceptable too.

Thanks in advance guys. Id appreciate the help. This will help many wanting to update to OEM ILS>

I need more pics guys. I really need a 2016 model year now but other 2015, 2017 and 2018 welcome to verify what I have!!

Thanks a bunch. This info will benefit the w205 community and possibly even benefit all if you want to upgrade to facelift lights.

Are you retrofitting ILS from halogin or static LED? Either way, I doubt if it'd work without coding or software upgrade.
