When my salesman was explaining the adaptive vs standard lights to me he said that cosmetically they would essentially look the same so I chose to save myself the $1k, thinking I would still get that aggressive hexagon style. Now that I’ve taken delivery I see it’s the standard lights that look like previous model years.
I’m oddly upset about this as I really wanted that new style light and I feel like the miscommunication at the dealer is what caused me to not order what I should have in the first place. Any tips on how to move forward with this? Would it be possible to pay some extra out of pocket to do a swap?
Any insight is appreciated.

I ordered mine and got it without LED adaptive. Dealer missed to put the option as he understood it as standard as it was in all Canadian model before LCI. I missed it and knew it before mine delivered and refused to take it.
I wanted to see if I can retrofit LED to the one without, but cost was way over 4k including installation according to my dealer and they also mentioned that the "adaptive" feature will not work fully as it would from the factory after dealer retrofit.. So my decision was to wait another 4 months and ordered the one with the LED.
It is possible but not worth. They dont work well and expensive. If you want it as I did... fight with your SA and say that it does not look like the LCI shape with LED. Order a new car under their allocation (if they have one)
