CLS HEADLIGHT UPGRADE/REPLACEMENT?
Hey fellas im new to this site seeking veteran mercedes knowledge from anyone with this type of experience. So basically me and my cousin bought the same car a 2012 cls 550 mines is white on white and his is black on black. Now the funny thing is i never seen his car until about 3 months of driving because we both have a busy schedule or whatever but when we first met up he look at my ride and told me we have different lights. I was shocked to find out my lights are basically the ''stock'' option and his were the upgraded one and worst part is that majority of the cls 550's on road have his lights which look awesome during the day time. SOO to keep the story as short as i can i was wondering if I get replacement Leds lets say from ebay or wherever are they a direct fit?? Like are they interchangable or will i face problems trying to install them? I still love my ride but if i can get any insight from someone would be nice to know and would probably do it down the road sometime thank fellas!!
Oh and side question when he locks his doors his mirrors fold in and i check my dash console and seems like mines doesnt have that option either. Called Mb dealer for update and they where acting like i was speaking chinese to them or like im talking about something crazy that cant be done. If anyone has any insight on this would be lovely aswell.

I've never seen those headlights in Canada. The black one does not have LED headlights though...they were only available in Canada starting on the 2015 model year. They are just HID
