For anyone debating moving away from the 2021 through 2023 headlights, I can confirm it is a simple plug and play exercise. No wiring or coding required. The old plug fits directly into the new headlights.
I also moved to the European lights without the amber reflector. The front looks so much more updated and clean now.

The first few shots have the old light on the right and new light on the left. The final shot are new lights on each side.
Just sharing for those considering to.

 

Thanks for letting us know. What was the total cost of new lights and install? Does ILS+ still function normally? Do the new euro lights turn with curves?

 

Looks good, I actually like both styles. Others although will prefer the pre-facelift with the two strips indicating it is an E-Class. Glad to hear you like the facelift style as well.

 

I got the new lights used on Ebay for $1000 each.
Install was $350 and took about an hour and a half.

Install was done by Vivid Headlight in SoCal

I will confirm tonight on the ILS features, but I also have RJ teed up to do some coding for me and they confirmed they can.
I will report back.

 

The headlights were the one thing I didn't like about the car.
For whatever reason it looks "buck toothed" because of how the dual lines look with the shape of the vehicle.

My S-Class had the 3 bars and it looked super sexy.
The bars for me just don't work on this vehicle.

Good times!

 

Understood, glad you like the newer style better.

 

I'd also be interested to hear if they can accommodate the additional brightness that ECE lights offer (13% I think) vs SAE. RJ has reported flickering issues with SAE. Thanks!

I'm on SoCal and I Googled that truck so great if everything checks out, I might consider this for curves and additional brightness. I actually prefer pre-facelift DRLs but brightness and curve function outweigh it (for safety reasons while driving at night).

 

Conformed all ILS features are working.
It may just be my brain, but the lights seem NOTICEABLY brighter.

Check out the dance at :07 of this video. It's the high beams activating automatically.
What isn't captured is the dimming and brightening of specific areas as you drive. Really cool stuff.

 

Very nice, I don't think it is just you, I did read (but forgot where) that the facelift headlights are brighter than pre-facelift.
