Yes all OEM MBZ parts. The front lip is Authentic Carlsson.

The exhaust tips are the only non-OEM part we utilized for the retrofit.

night vision camera is located in front center of the condenser coil and radiator and it has its own sensor and functions separately from the headlights. With or without the headlights if you decide to activate the camera it will work independently.

ILS lights at least in Europe mean automatic high beam switching and adaptive light patterns and beam range (not just high beams on/off). This works from a camera at the windscreen, has the camera been retrofitted along with the new headlights then too?

Does OEM functionality here mean the same as the pre-facelift car had from the factory or the same functionality as the facelift car would have with these new headlights?

I guess you were after the IR emitters at the head lights? Night view would work without these emitters but would lose performance (range). But I don't see why the new lights could not have IR emitters too.

Recap, please!

Your adapter loom has resistors or not?
The Active Curvenlight (Not Cornering) will work?
The DRL dimm when low beam is active?
How do you turn on the DRL?

As I know the old SAM can not light up the DRL without hardware/software modification.
