i have a source that can get the 2012+ OEM bi-xenon headlight housings for about $1500 for the set.

We need to discover if a harness is all we need extra, or if coding is a must, or if we can probably just splice some wires and rig existing cable to new headlights.

Maybe have someone the article number from the new 2012 SAM Module ?

Does anyone know the correct part numbers to the FL headlights? Are they the same across all the c classes?

I wonder if the pre-FL bulbs and ballasts will mate with the new FL headlight housings, wouldn't that solve all these connection issues?

Just my opinion , but why would anyone do this? I've always had an issue with people making a car look like a model that it's not. Plus why would anyone want to make the car less aggressive by updating its looks. Sorry I know I should keep my opinion to myself but I could not help it. Time to go to sleep now ...

I hear ya, but I think doing this is a far cry from trying to make a c250 into a BS. This mod is making a c63 look like a newer c63? Haven't at least half the members on here updated their mirrors/tailights, what's the difference?

I do agree with you on the less aggressive look although I think that has more to do with the bumper. I do dig the FL headlight DRLs though!

Ok,
because of the much questions.

You need the new front driver side sam and the 2 backdoor modules ( with the new sam you cant open the backdoors ) then you need to go to mercedes and online programming the new sam. Then it works perfectly without issues.

Nothing other works !!! Definitly !

What do you mean by backdoor modules? The door control modules in the back?

I also had this cables. Does not work for me. Maybe you can do it, would be much cheaper but i think you have no chance !
