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 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 !

I would, but i dont know them. I let install them all directly and the firm dont tell me anythink ( bacause they dont want to tell the secret ).
I only know now waht they do and what parts it need, because i stand next to them.
