Frequently asked questions
How can I tell a pre-facelift Mercedes W222 from a facelift version?
The model was updated in 2017: the facelift has LED headlights with three daytime running light strips, a different grille, and revised taillights. Parts for the pre-facelift version are marked 2014–2017 or 2014–2018, while facelift parts are 2018–2022. If the bumper or headlights have already been replaced, go by the installed parts and send the manager a photo or VIN.
How is a body kit different from a facelift kit?
A body kit is bumpers without lighting equipment (for example, Maybach 2018–2022 — front and rear bumper). A facelift kit adds lighting equipment: the S63 AMG-2018 set includes facelift headlights with modules, taillights, AMG Black grille, and exhaust tips, while the Maybach “with lighting” set includes headlights with modules and taillights.
Will the camera, Night Vision, and Distronic work with a tuning grille?
It depends on the specific grille and the car’s equipment: having a sensor cutout does not yet guarantee the system will work. The AMG grille for the W222 is available in versions with NightVision and without. Before ordering, give the manager the VIN or equipment list.
Will parts fit the W222 Long and the coupe?
For the long wheelbase there are separate floor mats, wind deflectors, and AMG side skirts for Long, and for the short version — Short floor mats; the wheelbase is specified in the product name. The S-class C217 coupe has its own section, and sedan W222 parts do not transfer to it.
Do the headlights need coding, and who installs the kit?
Depending on the headlights and the kit, the connection may be direct, with repinning, diagnostics, or programming — this is checked by an auto electrician. Bumpers and side skirts are usually supplied for painting and require test fitting. The kit can be installed at the DD Tuning network of certified service centers — the manager will suggest the nearest one.
Will facelift taillights fit a pre-facelift W222?
According to the product card, the facelift taillights (OEM, GBT) are compatible with both pre-facelift and facelift W222 and fit the factory mounting points; the set includes 2 taillights with a dynamic yellow turn signal. Before ordering, send the manager a photo of the rear of the car.
Do facelift rear taillights on the W222 have a welcome light function?
Yes, the manager confirmed under the product card that the facelift taillights (OEM) have illumination when the car is unlocked. The manufacturer is GBT (China), sold as a pair.
