No, the halogen units cannot be directly swapped for the factory LED headlights. Some on these boards have attempted it by splicing harnesses to make them work, but the end results didn't achieve 100% working solution (problems with DRL's, etc.)

There is a Chinese company selling a copy of the M-B LED headlight that is a plug and play swap. They are not OEM units but look just like them. They are pricey and some folks have complained about water resistance issues after a few months of being exposed to the elements. These aftermarket lights also do not have the ILS adaptive beam features either.

Here's a current eBay link to the plug and play headlights: New Mercedes-Benz W205 Plug&Play C-Class Dual LED Headlight (Halogen Model) Pair

Also, I replaced my halogen unit turn signal bulbs with CANBUS-friendly amber PWY24W LED bulbs and swapped out the regular H7 halogen bulbs for Philips Crystal Vision (blue tinted) halogens.

This gives the headlights the same color temp as the existing LED daytime running lights so the look is much more uniform now.

Make sure you use the bond glue Back to seal them. I did not have any thing happen so far even if I wash my car alot
