![Question](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/icons/icon5.gif)
Been out of the MB World for years and hope to buy my wife a new E350. Forgive the newbie. Have seen current E class bodystyle with LED brake lamps. Nothing noted in '07 brochure. Considering E350 w/ no-cost sport and P2 pkg. Loaded. Nothing on website, either. Thks.

Sorry to sound clueless, but:
Can someone link or attach pictures of the difference between LED and regular lights? Are they dramatically different looking?
Also, what is an Avantgarde package? Is this a european option?

The lenses on the 2 taillights are the same. The difference is on the stop light portion of the assembly. Essentially, when the driver of a standard lamp assembly steps on the brake, one or two bulbs light up in the brake light portion and the light is distributed thruought the lens by the interior ridges in the tail light plastic. With LED lights there are many small round LEDs that light up behind the red lens, and while the whole lens is lit up, the many LEDs are clearely visible separately.
LEDs light up immediately, and go off immediately as power is applied unlike conventional bulbs which almost imperceptably ramp up and ramp down as they light. To me, LEDs look redder and brighter. They burn cooler and rarely need replacement. They will probably outlast the car. For some reason they have become perceived as being more "upscale". Probably because they made their appearance on more expensive vehicles first and are now trickling down. After reading this, if you go to a showroom and look at both, you will see the difference without even having someone step on the brakes for you.
Of course the shapes of the entire tail light assembly are the same so they both fit the body, but you can buy the whole tail light assembly & install it on your car if you have one type & want the other.

Thanks Barry,
So, will my E550 P2, without Sport, come with LED? I've been unable to figure this out from MBUSA site.

If you want to see the European "E" Class models you can go to this HK Mercedes Website in English and configure one.
http://www.mercedes-benz.com.hk/amw/...0-0-0-0-0.html
The website shows the total price (including taxes and transport from Germany) just remember the US Dollar equals about 7.75 HongKong Dollars
