We have them on our GLC. They are a must have For us and should be a standard feature. There is no comparison to the standard lights.
I have bi-xenon on on my GL. I agree that the LED are an improvement.

Without lighting package, GLC only comes with standard Halogen light. Not even the HID. Honestly I disagree Mercedes such spec. arrangement especially it's a luxury brand.
I still have time to change my build list, but I am quite hesitating to spend on this $1,500 package. I live in San Francisco bay area and maybe 95% of my driving will not have an environment really dark. In bay area, traffic everywhere as well as road lamp. Not really have some places in very very dark and need strong light. (at least on my driving route)
My wife won't allow me to spend more on the car...
She said if I want lighting package, give up parking assist! But I also really want to have 360 degree camera and front/rear parking sensor.......
If you were me, what's your choice?

That's a tough choice. The difference between halogen and LED is also significant in bad weather, like rain.
The 360 camera is nice at least on the GL. It is hard to park the beast sometimes. The parking sensors are not that valuable in my opinion. I don't know for sure, but the most urgent signal comes at, what?, 8 inches away from an object. 8 inches is as good as a mile in tight parking. The camera is better. I've been able to park close enough to other cars that people get out to check to make sure that I didn't hit them. All while I'm looking at the screen, not outside. I get out and casually remark, "Impressive, huh?"
But what a tough choice, camera or lights. I'd beg for both.

I think the lighting package is a safety feature (that's how you sell it to your wife). But seriously, it is - better visibility, anticipates bends in the road, and it certainly looks great. I'm not spending your money but I've learned over the years that I've regretted some of the decisions I've made declining some options. In this day and age it's amazing what you can drop $1500 on and, other than memories, it just disappears (restaurants, clothes you never wear). Tough decision but if you can afford it, you will regret not adding it.
I had to order my GLC to get it the way we wanted it. It should be at VPC Brunswick Thursday.

When you're waiting for an ordered car it's like watching grass grow.
