2007 S550 tail light and grill facelift question

New to the site. This is my first post. I just got a 2007 Black S550 with AMG package. I want to swap out the taillights. What is the best upgrade/facelift option? Can I get the more modern grill? Sites I found restrict the new grill with fewer horizontal bars to the 2010 and newer. I have a 2007.

Thank you.

Thank you. I don't have Distronic. I read on one site that the facellift grill (fewer bars) is NOT the same for the 2007 model vs 2010 or newer. Different angle at the bottom. Please advise. I have a 2007.

I am trying to buy this but don't want to get stuck.

Why don't you contact the seller and ask them directly? They should know.
