Going from a 2010 with HID's to a 2011 with HID's, the difference is "night and day". The new lights are much brighter/sharper/whiter/bluer.

List of models covered?
Has anyone compiled a list of models covered by the factory (not customized) improvement and whether MB is picking up the tab, eg, for safety purposes?

I know this is an old thread, but can you guys confirm that this upgrade is just a matter of swapping bulbs provided that the car has factory xenon lights? I have an 07 E350 with factory xenons and I do a lot of night driving.

You should be able to change to whatever D1S bulb you want...
I did a projector retrofit replacing the stock crappy h7 projectors to factory bi-xenon e55 projectors which use a D2S bulb and purchased Osram Nightbreakers. Amazing light output from the bulb. I probably won't ever go back to Philips 85112 ever again..lol
Also changing out your lenses to clear from the factory Fresnel would be an improvement.
These would be the bulbs you want:
