I want to do this as well. I know you can buy the 2012-2013 e coupe lights and install them on the 2010-2012. I contacted a mercedes dealership and they said it was $300 per light. I would like to know if anyone knows a place to buy these lights for cheaper.

Also, I can sell you my hockey stick LED lights since I am buying the straight bar ones. They are in perfect condition. Will sell them half off what ever the mercedes dealership charges for them new.
I had asked the same question to one of the guys on this forum who posts quite a bit and seemed like an expert.
This was his response to my PM
"I take it that you haven't got the bi-xenon ILS set up?
Reason why I ask that is that those lamps have cornering lamps built in to the cluster (on the main beam/outer lamps) which double up as the fog lights, allowing the other lamps to be the DRLs
Whilst it is possible to order the straight LED and remove the twin spots and refit with the straight LED I don't believe it is possible to wire up the straight LEDs to act as a fog lamp and cornering lamp as well as a DRL, I imagine doing this will result in error codes and messages on the dash.
So maybe this will not be possible unless you are to change all the front lights to the bi-xenon set up and LED DRL - i know that may seem like a silly answer but it is all I can think given my understanding of the lighting set ups on these cars"

I finally switched from the L-Shaped to the straight bar lights. No modding was necessary, just plug and play. Only thing is removing the old lights and surrounds is a bit difficult, the bumper had to be taken off the car in order to get them off.

Wow awesome! Thanks so much! Will be my next mod for sure! Also if you don't mind me asking how much did this set you back?
Do your straight DRLs dim when the headlights are on?
im pretty sure all the led DRL lights dim when headlights on. but i read on here another member took his car into the dealer and they flashed his lighting program to a updated one. Or maybe they changed the settings? and they are full bright all the time.

Sure. The total for the parts was $608 (lights plus surrounds) and $80 dollars installed. Also I bought the lights brand new and it would be cheaper to buy ones from Ebay. Also I am in the process of selling the L shaped lights on ebay for $300 both so that helps pay for some of the other lights.
I'm looking into updating my L shape DRLs to the straight bar DRLs.
So I'm just trying to get an idea if anyone would be interested in buying my OEM L shaped DRLs and mesh inserts. An interested buyer would make this decision for me easier. Call it a win-win.

Did you install it yourself? How hard was it to take off the front bumper? I tried to go from under by removing the belly pan but it was too difficult.
PS. My L shaped DRLs will be for sale soon for anyone interested.
