2011 g55 AMG.... Mods or not

Im looking for LED headlights, day time running lights and tail lights for my G55.
Any suggestions.
I want something different from the stock lights.
Been searching online, the only options i see is Brabus daytime tunning LED strips under the main headlights.

Last year i saw one G55 in Monaco, similar to Range Rover's angle eyes LED headlamps.
The LED's were in a circular design around the Xenon's.

Most of the modified G55's in Dubai use the Brabus style daytime running lights.

LED headlamps are not recommended as an aftermarket solution because they are incredibly expensive to design/manufacture at the right quality level and that's why low-volume cars like the G-Class stick to Xenon. Any aftermarket ones will be crap and will probably perform worse, not last very long, and cause other problems with the electrical system.

There are some aftermarket LED tail lights available on eBay, but the feedback I've read is that they aren't very good.

That looks terrible...I still don't get what's wrong with the stock Xenon headlamps??? They perform very well and there is no better replacement in terms of performance or looks. If you really want to customize the look of your car, go with Brabus-style LED running lights.

the thread starter specifically asked for a LED headlight, that (looks aside) is the only Gwagen-specific LED headlight i'm aware of
i like the look of the OEM xenon myself

forgot there's the other one
