No they don't their is 3 headlights on the new c class halogen led and full led.
My apologies, the entry SE spec gets halogen with LED. All other trims get full LED according to Merc's website. The Seat Leon gets LED headlights as standard upgrade in UK. Audi A3 gets LED on S line models etc etc

My point was BMW are pushing prices up with 20th Century Technology whereas others are embracing new 21st Century Technology at similar or cheaper prices and placing it as standard on their cars.


To summarise:

Just as Edison said we'll make electricity so cheap that only the rich will buy candles, every car manufacturer recently said we'll make LED lights so cheap only BMW drivers will use halogens.
