W212 upgrades?

Hi all,

Kinda new to this forum..anyway I'm driving the E200 version of the W212..I have the standard specs for my car and planning to go for a slight upgrade..

I tried contacting my local MB Distri, they told me if I wanna replace my fog lamp to the "L-shaped" LED, i have to replace my entire bumper?

Lastly, how much does the Wald. Black Bison for e-class cost

Actually, was more curious about the Wald BB price..that's why I ask :P.


The minor upgrades I have in mind is just the fog lamp, Chrome Trimming and Headlights.

I got the 4 piece light (2DRL and 2fog light) was wondering if it's replaceable to the HS's LED without replacing whole bumper..my local MB said i have to replace the whole thing

For the headlight, I did ask my local MB as well, they say I can't replace my headlight with the xenon version
