i5 Rear Fog Lights only in EU? Amber Rear Turn Signals too

I couldn't help but notice that the European spec i5's rear back up light also serves as a rear (red) fog light. Any idea if this can be retrofitted?

Same with the rear turn signals - ours are red, but EU have a much brighter amber. If we purchased those EU rear lights, would we have to program the car for them to work properly?

Yeah - I’d much prefer the cool amber thin line turn signals that show in the virtual display of my car vs the blocky version we get in the US, but c’est la vie.

All EU cars have the much safer and more visible amber rear turn signals!! I love them. I despise the American red rear blinkers.

I am impressed that MBZ is making most new or refreshed models in the USA with amber turn signals. The only good thing about Mercedes, LOL!
