So that's what I thought as well until the configurator went live on the US site. It clearly shows a change in the headlights when you select the adaptive LEDs so I investigated. You're correct that the 2018 model gets LED headlights standard but it won't have the hexagonal shaped day time running lights as shown in the LCI press photos. I was told by the dealer that you'll get the older round, "angel eye" ones. I'm also ordering a US spec one.
