ML ILS Bi-xenon question
Are only US spec ML ILS bi-xenon auto leveling and whatnot or all specs have active curve and auto leveling? I guess I am curious if there is a version of the bi-xenon(some country spec) that does not adjust leveling and turn???

All north american MLs that have the xenons have the curve and auto high feature. What it does not have is the actual ILS which makes the headlight adjust how the light aims when incoming cars are detected. NA version is not too intelligent not like the European versions. I got into a fist fight with MB Canada about this as when I bought the truck they sold me to the full ILS feature and when I drove the truck home I found out the headlights does not have that feature. Also the NA version has a missing LED cornering light as you will see a blank diffuser right beside the actual xenon lens.
Someone once told me ML63s has the complete ILS feature but I have not confirmed it as everytime I see an ML63 I drool on the sound of the exhaust and forgets to bother look at the headlamps or ask the owner about it.

American models cant have all the european ILS features, because the american law prohibits both headlights to have different patterns I believe. I think it's also why in the US, you guys dont have the extra light that lights up on tight corners, only on one side of the car.
