Question: Headlights "Eyebrows"

Hi everyone,

I have a 2017 GLS450 and it looks like my headlights have the "eyebrows" curved lighting section at the top, however they do not illuminate. Is the illumination part of an upgraded lighting package? If so, is there a conversion available to make them work?

Can you post a photo? Have you decoded your VIN to see what lighting option you have? datamb.com

Yes, exactly. What is your VIN? This will tell you which lighting option is installed on the vehicle.

Post a very clear, and very close up, photo of the outer side of the headlamp assembly. Near the bottom of the headlamp housing, where it meets the painted fascia, are the words "Intelligent LED" written? Please provide more information. Thanks.

Thanks for all the help thus far. Took the pictures (below). I don't have the "Intelligent LED" on the headlights.

Thanks Nathan. Have you decoded your VIN using datamb.com? Or you can post your VIN here if the datamb site is not accessible to you.

Do you have option code 640 (assuming right hand traffic / LHD)?

Do you have your window sticker?

If you provide more information, your question can be answered very specifically.
