2015 CLS550 Front Headlights conversion on a 2012-2014 CLS550?
I noticed the 2015 CLS550 is offered with two different sets of headlights.
The brand new 2015 headlights and the 2012-2014 headlights...
If this is the case, it MUST be possible to put the new 2015 headlights on
a 2012-2014 CLS550.
Has anyone done this conversion? I have a 2014 so I'm seriously thinking
about it.

It MAY be possible; there are few problems that can't be solved if you're willing to spend enough money...

Personally I prefer the 2012-2014 look anyway. It looks more unique than the new 2015 look which takes after the whole MB family.
Been a while Scott - how're you doing on those 19s. The 18s I got from you are doing fine and with Blizzak's on, saw me through a couple of snow storms.

Does anyone know what package needs to be added to factory build to get the newer style headlights?
Ive seen on MBUsa.com inventory vehicles with Full LED Headlamps AND Intelligent Highbeam Control yet the picture showed the old style headlights. To add further confusion, ive seen vehicles with Full LED Headlamps AND Intelligent Highbeam Control and the picture DID show the newer style headlights.
Please advise if anyone knows what package needs to be added to get the newer style headlights.

Has anyone found any more info on this? I'm less interested in the headlights and more curious as to if the Front and rear bumpers and grille are interchangeable.

I don't see how this would be possible without changing the whole front end of the car. The hood, front fenders and bumper are molded around the shape of the headlights.

Comparing the two, the headlight shape seems identical though? The internal design is different but the overall size and shape seems unchanged.

12' CLS550
Ive looked at my 12 CLS parked next to a 15 and the headlight shape is identical, also the fact that the 15 uses the headlights of the previous years means that the dimensions of the sheet metal didn't change.
I too would be very interested in knowing if this possible.

Agree w/the rest of these guys, I ordered my 15 CLS w/o the lighting package because the wraparound LEDs were the distinguishing feature of the latest CLS in my opinion... a year later and I still don't regret it!
