2016 to 2019 AMG GT headlight assembly interchangeability?
Hey all, did a thorough search and don't think this has been mentioned or confirmed before. If it has, please pardon the repost.
Are the headlight assemblies through all GT variants from '16 to '19 practically interchangeable? Given of course US/Canada specs cars.
Appreciate any insights.

Updating my own thread in case it helps someone down the road.
TLDR:
I needed to replace the LHD headlight and the dealer has a backlog on ETA, hence I picked up a chromed version headlight from a GT S and ended up transferring some black trims over.
Tools needed: T-20 torx, pick/hook, heat gun and lots of patience. The headlights are compatible through the pre-facelift years, regardless of S, R or C. There are essentially two versions cosmetically: Chrome vs Black.
1. GT headlight part numbers usually have a format of 190 906 XX 00. If XX is odd, it's LHD headlight. If it's even, it's RHD.
2. As for XX, I have come across these digits for LHD headlight: 33, 39, 67, 75, 81. RHD headlight just add 1: 34, 40, 68, 76, 82. AFAIK, 75, 81, 76, 82 have black trims.
3. The interesting thing is sometimes the part numbers can't be found in MB EPC, as confirmed by a couple of dealers. In which case, you need a VIN.
4. A while back, I posted (https://mbworld.org/forums/coupe-roa...-amg-logo.html) about how my GT R headlight trim does not include a chromed AMG logo near the top. Upon studying this further, it is by design. All '18 and '19 GT Rs have black trims in the headlights. This include the top trim (where the LED eye brow curve runs through), the high beam reflectors' covers, and the high beam base.
5. '18 GT C Edition 50 have the same black trimmed headlights and I don't think it has anything to do with AMG Night Package. Every other model should be chromed out and the chromed pieces are basically painted on black trims.
Chrome. Internal pieces that are different.
Black. Pardon the picture angle.
