Preface to facelift retrofitting headlights. Help!!!!!!

I have facelifted my 2013 E class coupe to 2014 up and I can not get the headlights to work! Any help would be appreciated so much. It had xenons on it and now it has Led headlights fitted.

You must code in the new lights, sorry. There are some modules you can purchase out there, as well as remote coding services. they are not cheap though

CKM is your go to on this.

MercModder727 told you what you need to do. There is no way around the coding, and it is not cheap. Maybe you should have done a little more research before jumping in with both feet?

Hey Bud, we've all been there. If you reach out to the websites & companies that sell the components & coding services, they can assist with further technical info. I would love to FL my 2012, but it is the cost that prevents me. If you are attempting to complete this swap on your own, I'd highly discourage that. I am all for DIY and figuring **** out on your own, but I have witnessed people who are paid to code in this stuff get stuck. Like i stated before, CKM car design specializes in these facelifts. He can EASILY ship you what you need to code your lights. Mercedes Benz = More Bucks

Just be grateful all you had to change was the headlights & bumper!! not many others cars can do this. Hope this helps change your viewpoint on the matter, the people on this forum have been incredibly helpful to me in the past. People helping people!
