Rewiring and reconnecting the headlights must be done in any case. The DRL are now in the headlights.
Read the thread and learn that a face lift to LED headlights is a very expensive proposition. Better to trade in and up to a face lifted car!

It's not that easy mate. Rewiring is only 10% of the electronic conversion.

My actual car is from 2011 and have halogen.
The basic led heaadlights without ils is easiest conect? positive and negative 12v?

finding the parts is the easiest part, id recommend buying all new so you have no issues. the real question is, how do we do it. does the sam need to be replaced and programmed (which seems to be a major pain) or is there a converter box someone has developed?

these people claim to have done it without any coding whatsoever....question is, who are they and how did they do it?

What they did was way over my head, took several months to fine tune the electronics, but they successfully did it. All functions have been fully restored including pre-safe, cruise control, radar sensor and Distronic. I can put you in touch with them, that's about all I can help given the complexity of the entire exercise.

Today i placed my order for the whole parts on my way to 2014 model.It is very simple ,in a few days i will post the whole list of parts.
First infos:
HOOD-the same
FRONT FENDERS-the same.
At the rear we have to change the rear lamps and the SAM unit.I won't change the rear bumper for the moment.
Front:headlamps+electronic unit of the headlamps+SAM unit.
Underneath everything is the same(depending on the engine type)
Front bumper,grill,bumper grills,chrome insert on the bumper(AMG),headlamps support and some more small parts.
For me it is very easy to convert.
Feel free to ask me anything.

Can the taillights be swapped out without any modification? They look the same shape.
Edit: nevermind, reread the thread. Ebay has 2014 wannabe lights for the pre-facelift years, but they are listed for the sedan? Would sedan lights fit the coupe?
