Led Xenon headlights on W213 prefacelift with basic halogen

My European 2017 E220d came with the most basic headlights: A2138202161

I was wondering about how complicated it is to to fit A2139066501 instead.

I'm looking for an upgrade but I'm hoping for an upgrade with the least modifications, what else will be needed please? Will I need to modify the cables/plugs? Any idea?

This is for the facelift but I am not sure if the process is the same or similar: https://mbworld.org/forums/e-class-w...-possible.html

Thanks, I feel like I'm the only one with a w213 that has headlights even more inferior than the lower standard LED High Performance!

You're welcome and don't worry : ) halogen was standard in Europe after all.

Didn't even know halogens existed for the W213 until now, I know you're vehicle is in a different market than US but MB should be ashamed to even spend time and money on developing halogen lamps for this model.

Fun fact some countries like Germany also had cloth seats for W222 at one point.
