Intelligent lighting vs. std LED?

I am all set on the build for my 2019 C63S, but at the last minute I am not sure about the intelligent lighting option. I have always gotten the better lighting option, but now that the standard lights are LED, I am not sure the more complicated lights are better (regardless of price). Any thoughts? Any real-word experience with both? Thanks in advance.

Yes. You will LOVE the intelligent lights. Almost all of the C63's on dealer lots have them. It could actually affect your resale down the road as well if you don't - seriously. It's so nice for the high beams to turn on/off automatically. Not to mention the active curve illumination. My 2018 GLA45 had LED but did not have intelligent lights - I hated it. As a matter of fact I got rid of that car after three months. That was one of the things that I missed and irked me about that car. However, that was not an available option on that car anyways. I'm sure others will chime in and concur as well.

However, be aware that if you are in the US, the shutter features of the system won't be available to you....still worth the upgrade; great cornering lights.

It’s pretty cool watching the dancing lights alter around cars, maybe a bit distracting. I probably wouldn’t have speced them but now I’ve had them I will always want them, do you drive much at night?

Agreed.
My current car has them, and my work vehicle doesn't. I miss those lights so much when I'm driving my work vehicle!
