they actually won't. Hence the need for the new 'bucket' sheet metal panels from MB to accommodate the much larger ballast housings on the factory xenons. The existing front fender panels spot welds have to be drilled out and you can either grind the area and weld the new panels in, or replace with rivets..
Re-pinning the connectors is a simple task comparatively and if done correctly should produce no error codes or issues with functions or CANBUS.
If you want to spend a lot less time and money to get the same factory look, DEPO makes a set of aftermarket HID's that look like the 2015+ style but fit in the older halogen buckets and are plug and play.
Micha wrote:@shiann - thank you! I did install LEDs last week. Work fine on low beam, but when switched to high beam, passenger side goes completely dark at first and then flashes with a 8 sec interval or so. Driver's side is fine. Have not diagnosed yet, suspect wiring issue (or light).
