Genuine Merc shows no difference between the car & wagon but I would ask the supplier what the difference is.

Not sure if you noticed this, or if it's that I can't read German, (or both) but these two headlights are absolutely different...The first one looks like the one they're selling, and the one on the car looks like an OEM unit, painted black...Notice the bezel around the projector lens on the car-mounted headlight (suspected OEM) is longer and has ridges/indentations. The bezel on the light they're selling looks to be smaller, as well as a smaller projector lens.

Thats because the ebay ad clearly states that they are not OEM, they don't want comparissons and that you are only to bid if you agreed to the T&C

Gotcha, thanks for the translation! Just keeping an eye out for fellow members.
