Very nice. The CLS is such a pretty car that every color I see it in I think "Wow! It looks really good in that color!" Congratulations!

You cannot be stationary for the lights to move.

Due to the change in the bumper/lower grill betwen the 500 and the 55 AMG, the lights turn sllightly if at all.

I don't think the lights move at all. It are the foglights that turn on when you turn the car.

For example: when you make a right turn, the right foglamp lights up

edit: more info here= http://www4.mercedes-benz.com/e/cars...iegelicht.html

Also, the cornering light function is active above 40 km/h.

edit2: oops, do you guys talk about the cornering light function or the active light system ? (more info on the last: http://www4.mercedes-benz.com/e/cars...rvenlicht.html

I checked your links. I think they were talking about the headlamps themselves.

The reason the lights don't turn when you are stationary is so that you don't blind other drivers during a red light or what not.
