I can safely say i'm the only c43 owner that DIDNT get the LED headlights. Such a regret. Is there anyway to upgrade them to the LED headlights? Would it be a simple swap? (Probably not)

Interested in this as well haha

In Australia, we dont really get many options in the sense that most things come standard bar the "Performance Package" which is PE and Sports Seats. TBH Im surprised that isnt made standard and the price of the C43 goes up.

I didn't get the LED lights either - I don't care. I just want performance...

Where in the world is the C43 available without the LED headlights?

Can the upgrade be done? Yes. Is it simple? Noooo. It would require purchase of the lights themselves, which is very expensive (expect it to be a few thousand USD). While the connector at the end of the harness may be the same, there is also a chance that there could be a need to do some modification to even plug them in and the pinouts in the connectors may not be the same. Then it will require coding/programming of at least two control modules in the car. There are people that can code it, but people with the tools and knowledge seem to be fairly rare in the MB world (at least compared to BMW and Audi).

So yes, there is a way to upgrade, but it will not be a simple or low-cost thing to do. If could certainly be an interesting project if the time, money, and resources are available to you. Sorry, I know that probably isn't the answer you were hoping for.

From the C300 forum...would not advise, but the C300 forum does also have some Plug&Play solution threads. Might be worth investigating, but it's gonna be pricey either way.

I had an issue with the yellow side marker bulb on my LED lights... long story short I had to have the entire thing replaced due to the fact that it's not an actual bulb... The price is ridiculous! Each side will cost you approx.$2500 a piece with the module!! I was glad it was a warranty repair.

Are you asking in what countries is the C43 available without the LED headlights? All of them I would guess - its not a mandatory package. Certainly in the U.S. - a lot of C43 in my dealership were with PE, but without the LED headlights.

Not sure why that seems strange.

Here in the UK every C class comes standard with LED headlights, so it seemed a little strange to me

Edit: Almost all of them, seems the absolute base spec saloons can be specced without LED headlights.

Ouch, I'd rather have LED's than the PE...The car looks terrible without the LED's, especially at night... looks like an 06 mustang. I've seen cars without the LED's in my rear view and when they pull up im surprised its a new mercedes.

I've got led multibeam

Check Otto Auto in the w205 forum. He's got a plug and play LED solution that has been well reviewed so far.
