LED Headlamps* (Standard)

Hello everyone,

I read that "All functions feature LED technology".
However, I never saw a picture or a video with High Beam lights ON (in the standard version), to see how it looks like.
Can anyone please share a picture of the High Beam lights ON (Only for standard version)?

Thank you very much,

Regards.

The headlamps are all LED on the standard model. But do not mistake these for the "intelligent highbeam" assist models as that model operates and looks differently.

The high beam lights are VERY bright on the standard model. I'd say even a brighter shade of Blue/white that the low beams are, and yes it's operated by an LED.

The headlights with the intelligent high beam system essentially has two bulbs of LED light output per headlight in the US models. So even when you are only using your low beams, you are essentially using both the low beam and high beam bulbs at the same time. Now when your car feels the need to output more light so you may see better on the road that's when the high beam bulb increases its power output so you may see better.

Ill post a pic of them as I start my day tomorrow

I have a 17 E class as a service loaner right now. They are the same exact set up as the static LED lights on the C Class. they both utilize LED reflectors for the high beams.

They're very bright, and they look like an extension of the low beams (meaning they are just as bright as the low beams but aimed higher). If you really want to know, google a picture of a C-class with the brights on or go to your local dealership, they use the same method
