Question Rear lights animations

Hi folks, I've seen videos of C class W206 showing nice rear lights animations (kind of swipe from inside to outside, etc) at vehicle unlock time, hazard lights, etc.
Mine is C200 with AMG package. It all works great, but I don't see those animations in my rear lights. My rear lights just light on or off, without animations. At unlock time, there's a slight fade in from low intensity to high and then back to mid intensity, but no swipe or any other animation.
Does anyone know if it depends on software version or anything else?

I have a feeling you need Digital Lights to have that function, I could be wrong though. My thoughts are based on the fact that you need Adaptive Highbeam Assist on an E-Class coupe in order to have the taillight animations so I figured that it might be the same for the W206.
