Help Identify My Headlights for Facelift
I am going to retrofit my headlights, but i want to know which ones do i need, because there are so many different ones, so if someone can help me with please:

1. What kind of headlights do i have? I know i have active cornering, because when i turn steering wheel to left or right inner bulb turns on (closest one to the hood grille). I also know that i dont have night vision. Here are part numbers that i have on my headlights and also some other info from the sticker on my headlights:
A221 820 1161 PY24W W5W D1S Index Q11 LE04H6115
A221 820 1261 PY24W W5W D1S Index Q11 LE04G6116

Also here is my VIN: WDDNG71XX7A071268

2. If i have Xenon headlights and i will get Bi-Xenon will they work? Or can i make them work via Star System? And if i get the ones without Active Cornering can i just turn off that function from my car via Star?

3. Here are the facelift headlights part#s that i am looking to buy and would like to know which ones to get:
A221 820 70 59
A221 820 57 59
A221 820 13 59
A221 820 20 59
A221 820 76 59
A221 820 48 39
A221 820 75 59

Thanks in Advance

All will work..It is just a programing thing in Star. There are versions without Xenon as well. And also without DRL. These have all inc curve light but are for Euro market. Dont know if there is a big difference on US lights on the facelift. Dont think so.

Thanks Chris, just went to two dealerships they said that none of the above part numbers are with curvelight and bi-xenon, which is weird because some of the above headlights are from S63 and S600 which must have that option.

EDIT: Is anyone with 2010+ S-class can give me their part numbers for headlights? Would really appreciate it
