Digital lights

Hello. Thinking of upgrading to the 24 GLE 450. But weighing in upgrading to the pinnacle package. My main reason is the digital lights. Not caring much about other options. From drivers experience in this forum is it a huge difference between the standard lights and digital lights? I wish it was an option to order by itself. Thank you

That pinnacle package also provides the HUD. Once you get used to using the HUD you will never want to go back.

There are no digital lights in GLE. Just the intelligent light system which is a step above the normal LED lights. It can move, but it cannot project symbols on ground.

I went with Exclusive Tim and dont regret it.
- Exclusive adds the Burmester audio, ventilated seats, and augmented video for nav which were on my list of wants
- The "standard" LED lights are more than adequate for me so for me it wasn't worth upgrade for that alone
- Less important but a factor, I wear polarized sunglasses so HUD wasn't a consideration

Intelligent light system (640) is only worth upgrading to if you also get the ILS + programming, and together it's worth every penny IMO.

I have some Luxottica RX5154 transitions glasses that uses Brown Transitions XTRActive (all copied from the eye dr.'s receipt). It seems to work well for me with 24' GLE's HUD.

that’s what I was thinking. I really don’t care about massage seat, HUD, cooled cup holders and fragrance. But I have the ILS on my 2017 GLC43 which was a must at that time since the stock LED were pretty bad in 2017. And I’m thinking if technology have improved from 7 years that I don’t need to pay $5500 more because of lights only plus I be required to upgrade to the leather seat package which again not a big deal for me

If you are referring to the USA 2024 gle, then it would have the intelligent lights system (aka multi beam led, but neutered), not digital lights.
EU calls them multi beam because the lights move around a lot. But USA intelligent light system cant do fancy stuff like cornering lights and making the cut out shape when there's cars ahead.
You can use an external coder service to unlock more functionality for intelligent light system to get the cut outs of cars in front.
