I have a 91 w201 with a 2.3IL4 8v. i want to replace the front lights, blinkers, radiator bar, and possibly grill and hood/side fenders. would these parts be interchangeable? ty for your time =]

Although I don't have an actual answer... I would say I highly doubt those parts will be directly interchangeable. Maybe with lots of modifications you could put them in.

My main question is why you wouldn't just keep it original? If you like one look over another, you're almost better off changing cars. The "interchanged" car would have very little value afterwards.

The positive answer is no you can't fit parts as they are,i've seen a car from southamerica the guy fitted the front headlighst (the newones with lens) from a 124 cutting and modifiying the wing but looks ugly to me there are some parts that you can but are mechanicals, shock absorbers etc, even full engines like 300d 6 cilinders fitted in a w201,you shoud check this forum mbfaq.com or mercedes-190.co.uk

Alright, well value is not an issue. Its a salvage title with almost 200k miles on it. The hood needs to be replaced, driver headlight is cracked, grill is bent, radiator bar /support needs to be replaced or pulled back out with a pull rod. Driver side blinker will not sit in securely. Value of the car is not my main concern lol. I was just curious if you could replace any of those items with w124 parts since they look similar.

Those are w201 headlights and i personally like them ,most likely if my numbers($) goes as planed i'll buy them ,don't know if black or chromed....if i do will be with the intention of fitting xenon in them i usually drive a friends car with OEM xenon is a big difference to SEE or guess that you see...

Tell me what do you think about it,is in guatemala i prefer the w201 h-lights the ones you have in your post

DocWalla

i like them for the most part but im not crazy about the light towards the outside of the light that looks like its floating, not my style.

dartony

The big poin is that i haven't seen them at night nor with halogen bulbs nor with xenon fitted cause what i'm looking for is the range of xenon,how have you seen them with halogen or xenon ?

DocWalla

To be honest I haven't researched them that much.. sorry.

DocWalla

The link I posted to those headlights said they are hid ready I believe though.

Hi,the link(sonar depo...) says that you can fit it but not with the (at least in europe) the legal ones d1r.d2r etc the ones you can fit are h3,h1,h7.. and alike not legal in the streets around here..yet i hope there is also another link dectane check it...
