LED front turn signal

I have a question. I own a 2102 E350 with the P1 package and a friend of mine just bought the exact same car (same year) but his has the P2 package which has the Bi Xenon Adaptive headlights. We parked our cars side by side and turned on the the blinkers. His front blinkers are clearly LED because they blink on and off instantly with no delay and mine are clearly halogen blinkers because of the delay that is quite obvious with halogen bulbs.

My question is, can I pull out my halogen turn signals and replace them with LED like he has or do you think the connector would be different and not allow a LED bulb to be inserted. Actually now that I think about it, it's probably a different connector which would not allow a LED bulb to be inserted.

What do you guys think?

An LED installed in your car will need to be canbus resistor enabled LED. However, you should be able to find a LED canbus bulb with the correct base mount.
