The regular LED's look better than the multi LED's. I would like to see Mercedes step up their game on the next gen cars however. The BMW Icon LED's are amazing

BMW have great lights because their drivers don't use turn signals, so the lights are there to actually help other drivers on the road.

What, I can say that I like LED headlights more because they shine brighter. And they also have a beautiful light! But most of all, I like that they are not so expensive and serve for a long time, which is ideal for me. However, I will say right away that it is best not to buy the cheapest LED headlights but to look at the middle or high price. I'm telling you this as a person who used to buy exclusively affordable LED headlights, but I stopped using cheap things because of low efficiency and reliability. Just a few months later, I noticed that the headlights were not working so well anymore. But when I started buying more expensive LED headlights, everything became much better!

Are you referring to after market LEDs? The regular LEDs that come with the C43/C63 or the "high performance" LEDs that come with these cars are both very high quality and both very bright. I have my car side by side with other C43/C63 that have the performance LEDs, some don't, and the brightness is pretty much the same. Aside from the design, the light output themselves are not that much different. The light pattern is somewhat different but even then it's still very minimal.

The IL's are one of my favorite options -- I spec'd them on both cars and wouldn't have the car without them personally. My experience with them has been nothing short of impressed, so much so that I rather enjoy driving at night again....minus the bugs.

I also feel that high spec'd cars will retain value better -- and we all know these cars can appreciate if taken care of and are optioned well.

It is a pity that these lamps can not be replaced by LEDs without too much trouble and installing additional equipment. I wanted to do this once, but I would have had to install an additional AC converter, and I had no particular desire to do so. Anyway, I left the good old warm light. To answer the question about home bulbs, I can say that there is nothing better than the
smart led bulb smart led bulb
on the market. You can control such bulbs from your phone and choose any light from the RGB palette. If you have the opportunity to buy such a device, I highly recommend it. I am sure that you will be happy.

I really liked the Multibeam ILS system. Having rolled once, you will never agree to install the xenon back. Listen to me. I agree, it's hard to take someone's word for it on the Internet and buy LEDs for such an amount, but if you want to get something you've never received, do something you've never done. Last week I also installed LED strips in the interior of my car. Together with the headlights, it looks very stylish! I bought two tapes on https://www.vont.com/product/smart-s...-strip-lights/. They have bright lights and low energy consumption. Can I show you the photos?

I just recently realized that my Multibeam was cancelled d/t the chip shortage even though I got the premium package. Not sure how I feel about it as the LED lights look alright.

No just the 2022 E53 coupe. Are the standard lights not the performance LEDs? I definitely did not get the active multibeam, thats for sure.

You can buy a flash for the premium lights that let them operate as they do in Europe. It’s on the forum. I can attest that it is a significant improvement over the stock US premium lights.

Is it a flash or an aftermarket chip to plug in?
