I used to own the first E class with the ORIGINAL double round lamps, but that has nothing to do with this. The fact is that MB usually comes out with the all the design trends first (including the lamps in question), then the cheaper makers copy the design characteristics to make their lines look more luxurious to the untrained eye. That`s just how design works (not just for cars, but fashion too).
I saw a documentary in Japan years ago, and the Lexus people openly admitted that their goal was to copy MB cars. It`s pretty obviously that`s true because it shows in the designs of all their cars.
Of course Lexus is a good car, and I am sure MB copies some parts/methods too, but to say MB copied the Lexus lamps is not correct at all in my opinion.
