They are out there; you just have to be adamant and look for them. I was very persistent. I am on the east coast as well & my offer still stand to help you, if you want---just let me know exactly which options you need.
On the other hand, if the car has EVERYTHING else you want, minus the Lighting Package...then you may be able to work a good deal on it, then add the OEM full-LED headlights afterwards. Seems like it would simply be a direct swap since the base headlights already have LEDs in them already. (ask Konigtiger for advice on that)
Yeah, my E350 has all three...so they definitely exist, but I will admit I had an open wallet & was very patient and focused when I was looking for it---something that a lot of people aren't willing to sacrifice or go thru. It takes a while, albeit you will feel very rewarded when you do find that unicorn. :-)

My E350 has all three but it did take a few months to find it. I'm on the west coast and I finally found my car in Chicago.

I just test drove a 2015 e350. The car drove very well. Dealer wants 32,900 and it has 21,800 miles on it. It didnt have the Lighting pckage and all 4 of the wheels had curb rash, 2 of them were really bad....Ill keep looking haha

Curb rash isn't that big a deal, most dealers have shops that can fix it. I think locally there's a shop that charges around $100 a wheel to clean them up and clear coat them again. I haven't done it yet because I can't really stand the thought of spending $400+ to make them look new again, but I could get used/replica ones for $150-$200 a wheel. I've had a couple bent ones and those cost $115 a wheel to bend back.

Lorenzo

Yea when i first saw the curb rash i said to the guy who the hell been driving this car haha.2 are really bad the other 2 are not as bad but still need refinished. He said well its a used car haha...Anyway i was alittle unimpressed. The car sat outside, bird crap all over it, filthy. I wouldnt have been able to tell if it was repainted anywhere, chips or anything. I drove it for the hell of it to get the feel of the car

Does anyone know if you can just swap out the standard headlights for Full Led headlights to have what they call the full lighting package,,Thanks

cetialpha5

I don't think anyone has done it yet because each headlight is around $2k so that's going to be a $4k mod plus whatever else might be needed in terms of labor and coding. Better off paying an extra $4k for an E550 or just paying a little extra for the right car.

tresean1

as it was previously mentioned a few times in this thread, it's probably a pretty simple thing to physically swap the units. There may be additional coding required, but that would be minimal compared to what you would pay for a car that has more features than you really want. If you find a car that has all of the options you want minus the lighting package, it might be more cost-effective for you to buy that car and then swap in the LED lights afterwards. It's just a financial decision that you will have to weigh the pros and cons with.

cetialpha5

Is that based on the fact that the LED lamps cost $2114 online? They list for about $3k at the dealer. For an extra $4k+, I'd expand my search nationally and pay the extra $1k or so to have a car shipped to you than pay 4k for lights.

And that is per LED light, without the necessary electronics. The whole package is $4K per LED light assembly. To retrofit, besides the LED light assemblies, you would need new wiring, controllers and computer coding of the car that only a dealer or someone with an MB computer (vendamo?) can do. I know, I had to have one of my LED lights replaced. That replacement wasn't covered by dealer warranty. I did, however, after a lot of research and a few heated discussions, get the original seller to replace the LED light for me free of charge. Definately not cost effective to retrofit, if it's even possible.

Who knows!? Maybe the OP found a car that is perfect to him in all aspects, other than the lights. Maybe he wants that particular car (color, options, mileage) but he also wants the full LED lighting package. Like I mentioned in one of my posts earlier, a fully loaded car is in fact out there, it just has to be found. Maybe he isn't patient, but has an unlimited wallet? Who knows? It looks like, from his question, he is weighing his options. Like I said earlier, that is a financial decision for him to may. There are many people on these forms that have bought cars spent "ridiculous" amounts of money to retrofit things and to customize their vehicles. But what is really deemed "ridiculous"? Who are we to judge that? At the end of the day it's ultimately his decision.

Lorenzo

I asked the question again because it wasnt clear if wiring or anything else had to be changed besides the headlights to add the full lighting package. But TUMP43 may have answered it by saying wiring and controllers have to be changed. Thats makes the difference rite there. I pursued this because i found a pair of headlight fors $1500 and thats why i thought it would be worth it if only the headlights needed to be changed as i can change them myself. Ive changed out a major wiring harness in a modern ferrari last year but i dont think i wanna search out how to do this again........TREASEAN1..Yes your correct. I did find a couple cars near me that id consider to buy. They have the options i want except for the lighting packages. So search goes on,,,Thanks everyone
