I also want them to paint the caliper.
Here is a picture my friend sent me:
Hey,

I'm curious, did you get that lane change function working? Did you have to reprogram the computer?

I have the 2014-2017 S63 Rear Diffuser and this light fit perfect. It's not functional though. I just got it to fill the void.

Do you know if it lights up red or clear color? If it’s red you can tap it into the brake light to work. And if it’s clear, I would tap into the reverse light for better lighting when you’re in reverse.

Yeah I'd like to wire it one day. It appears to be clear but I've never seen it illuminated.

No, not yet! But I should get the car back before Thanksgiving! I don't want to get in trouble by posting those links here. If you guys need those links, please PM me, and I will send you a parts list.

I will go to the shop this weekend and take more pictures!

I am not sure if I got a multibeam headlight. But I know there is one can project letters on the wall like "WELCOME":

I believe the above headlights are multibeam headlights for sure; otherwise it can not do that.


My taillights did the same effect as the video shown above.

I don't have any answer from Depo ones if they are Multibeam.

I was told the headlights can be coded for the face lift headlights to work with night vision. And that the harness is not needed? Correct me if I’m wrong?

And the headlights , how much did they cost you?

And one more question: Do DISTRONIC/High beam assist work?

Because I saw on some websites that people complain that don't work so good....

Hello, does anyone know the answer to this question?
I am preparing to put those "2018 look" NON OEM headlights on my 2015 W222 S550 (without night vision)
So my biggest concern:
1) Do they provide the same quality lighting on hi and low beams?
2) Does High beam assist work? If yes, does it work properly?
3) Any other positive or negative experience?

Yes, Everything will work. I had this done on my 2015 S63 and it works beautifully. I can even spell words with my headlights. I'll try to upload a video.

Anyone else done this conversion recently? I wanted to see if anyone has solved the headlamp questions/issues.
