Since the ECO button is not needed on my car and the function dont even exsist on my car and I also HATE it I thought a AMG button looks way better even if it also dont work....It looks so much better..

All this had to be done to add the last 2 wood trims to the car...

For the headlamps, how'd you get them to work? I assume programming was involved but what about the wiring? Will the old harness work with the new lamps or do we just need to swap the wire plugs?
Also I would like to personally thank Chris for his help in both this thread AND off thread. I am a complete car noob and literally bombarded him with questions and ordered parts from him before I started my retrofits. I am currently almost finished with my interior(missing cluster installation) pictures below...next I will do the exterior but that will be in a few months since those are quite expensive here in the US. Again, THANK YOU CHRIS.
Looks like I can't upload since the photos are too large and I'm on mobile. Will add before and after photos later

Xentry Star Diagnose is what Mercedes use in their workshops. Vediamo is used by engineers only for coding all ECUs.
