Stock headlamp?
Hey there! Potential first time MB buyer here, upsizing from a Q5. I looked through the GLS page on MB website, but I couldn't figure out what the stock headlamp is: halogen or xenon? I think it's halogen, could someone please help confirm? Thanks!

Yes it's halogen and you must avoid it at all cost! There is a MASSIVE difference between both systems and you will deeply regret it if you choose the halogens. However, contrary to the GLE, I believe most GLS are equipped with the LED headlights, even on dealers' lots.
