Very FAST!
The 2010 model does not. The P2 does have the L-shaped LED running lights though. Not sure about the sedan version, only speaking for the coupe.

That is correct. My 2011 w/P1 (to my pleasant surprise) came with the LED's included.

All a matter of personal taste, but glad I got the 2010 P1 with the four round fog/DRL's.
On 2011, do you lose the fog lights with the P1?

Can the 2010 with the eyebrow led lights be retrofitted to take the AMG straight line led lights?

That button only turns on and off the LED's though, right? That's what it does on my car.

How do you turn on the rear fog then, and do the LED cars have front fogs?

I do know that when I've pressed the light button next to the light knob (late '10's have the same setup as the '11's), that it indeed turns off the LED's. So I'd assume, syncing the rear fog to that switch would make no sense, unless it only works when the LED's are off?

Just went to the German site mercedes.de (found this mentioned on another site) they do not offer the eyebrow lights, just the round and striaght running lights, BTW they also offer 19 inch wheels.

You probably did not spend a lot of time browsing the German site?

You can purchase the straight LEDS from MB Parts for 310.00 apiece.
Does not include retrofitting the grill or installation.

That button is for the REAR fog lamp. There are no front fog lamps on the E-Class Sedan when fitted with LED DRLs.
