I would assume there is enough interest in just this to warrant a new thread on this one upgrade.

Hey Chris, so how do YOU put your car in sport mode? Do you have a sport button? This doesn't actually put the car in sport mode if I were to put in my car (2010 E550 coupe); it would just toggle between manual or automatic transmission. I'm trying to retrofit my center console panels as well, but I can't find no alternatives for sport button.

Needs programming in cluster to tell it to toggle between 3 instead of 2.

Hi Chris, Very impressive, your attention to detail and your english. I just bought a 2010 E55C and am putting a new (US 2014+) front end on it, not because I don't like the old one, but because it doesn't have one ;-)



I am looking at headlights, trying to figure out what to do. My data sheet said I had 'BI_XENON Headlight w/active curvelight'. The 2014+ headlights I have found to use are a non active LED headlight and an active, like so





I wonder if you have ever seen the non active headlight at day or night ? I've seen pictures of the active headlight lit up like yours, but not the non active. I like the active ones, but they are quite expensive. Which headlight would be the easiest for me to make work ? How did you figure it out ? I don't think there are any competent Mercedes garages that can help me, so there will be me and an ohmmeter. Thanks

Thanx!!!

Oh they will be even hard to install. So defenetly go for the active one or you will regret it.

PM me for details.

Hi Guys,

Very well done Chris... I really like the job and passion you put in this. I actually don't have an E class but when reading the whole post I have a real appetite for buying a retrofit and upgrade it

If this could help you guys, you can but the Hella headlights here:
https://www.oscaro.com/projecteur-pr...-46697-2713-gt

They usually have good prices and service.

cheers

What makes you think that is the corect modell? Be careful. Alot of different models.

The corect full led one is about 900 euro each. There is NO H7 bulbs in the full led version.

You have the equivalent MB part numbers when you click on details... I have also selected the right car model in the home page... There are the H7 (Led+Halogen for 680 euro) and Full Led (1026 euros) in the list... Not sure these are the best prices you can get but I know this website is reliable and they have good prices...

Will need your advises when I will get the C207 ... Hopefully

Has anyone tried or know if a facelift W212 center air vent and analog clock piece as well as the aluminum button row will fit a pre-facelift? It doesn't look to be as direct of a fit as the W207, thanks
