Default 2013 Mercedes Lights

And we complain about the 2013 Audi A5 headlights. Those Merc headlights are hideous.

Merc is doing pretty good there. I can't say this particular LED model is good looking but those LED on new E and S class looking great! their standard seats in new E coupe kick Audi's *** big time. I wish Audi make better looking seats in the new future though.

Yuck! I think those eyebrows need a good plucking. IMHO nothing looks better than the A5/S5 hockey stick LEDs. They continue to be the best looking headlight out there (way better than that busy mess that's coming on the 2013s A5/S5s).

Agreed. Hockey stick A5 lights, as well as the simple diagonal bars found on the previous generation A6, are the best looking LEDs. The problem with the more complex designs is that they all look like Christmas Tree decorations.

I don't think it would be an exaggeration to say that MB is showing contempt for its customers with this new design - the car looks like a horribly disfigured SLS.

They seem to fit the image of Mercedes: timeless, but modern. I think the front end will be beautiful to look at on the road..
