Note/Important:

All parts are genuine and can be installed on the previous S-Class 222 models until 2016 without any mounting problems. This offer includes the complete parts set for restyling any S-Class 222 into AMG SPORT facelift. For further questions regarding the installation please feel free to send us a request.

Looking to possibly replace headlamps on a W222 2014, can the New Style be replaced in the same spot or do need the whole front end....

Looks like vehicles ordered with Night Vision for 2018 have a different Headlamp than the ones without the Night Vision?

Also, does anyone know if just the Old exterior housing can be replaced (glass) and just move over the electronics... Thanks!

I think it should at least it shouldn't be harder than installing facelift W221's parts onto the pre facelift W221 to make the older models more streamlined and fresh

The headlights use completely different tech but even if not, a complete assembly exchange is the only way to go. Apart from the exorbitant costs it looks like a simple swap. Normally headlights have different pin-outs/cable adapters or may need coding.

If this is desirable to you I would recommend waiting for third party bumper kits to come out and then just get the OEM lights. The costs are just too high in relation to the rest of the car.

To me this would simply not be worth it. Unlike the prior gen. W221 I think the pre facelift W222 looks equally as good if not better...

Looks like it comes with the necessary interface for the Headlights.

The only reason I am interested in the Headlights, the glass is heavily sand blasted by driving on NY dirty Streets and Highways..... I should have put a clear bra on the Nose and Lights when it was new. If the glass only can be purchased and transfer the innards, that would be great. Clean lamps make the car pop.

To me this would simply not be worth it. Unlike the prior gen. W221 I think the pre facelift W222 looks equally as good if not better...
I like the W222. Thank You for your feedback!Have a Happy and Healthy New Year!!
