LED tail lamps, possibility?

I know the w211 top corner brake lamps are LED, but why aren't the the bottom one LED as well?

I believe the s, sl,and cls class(depend on MY model years) have those similar style LED tail lamps, how is the difference in sizes? Anyone notice any similarity? I think the LED style in the sl class is a bit different from the s, cls and the e class if you know what I am talking about...

Anyway, is there a way to swap out those bulbs with some LED from the other models into the e...Is this seem possible at all?

Any ideas going about doing this?

the bottom half is just a parking light. only the brake light portion is LED.

on the w220 s and w215 cl, the lights were the same way (that's how are 02 CL500 is). only the 07+ SL i believe have all of it LED.

i think the e class bulbs are on a circuit board.

Is there a way to lighten the bottom part of the tail lamp with LED?
