i bought mine [for my '92 400e]from adsit company, i had a crappy experience.

the bosch ones are available from www.puma-access.com

hope that is the correct web address.

talk to paul, i think you have to call for euro lights.

the people at www.capitolwest.com [if 'o' doesn't work try an 'a'] are very nice to deal with and offer good service.

you can also go to www.bekkers.com they have the best overall price if you want the clear indicators.


i have the CORRECT part numbers for the european headlight beam adjuster.

ching chong. Anyways I remember seeing someone at the club one2four meet with hella headlights as I was told.. I think Ramil was the one with them and they looked more clear and brighter than the Depo brand. I may have the pics on the computer if you want me to show you.... Or is it just an illusion?

I belive there is a slight, very slight difference in the beam pattern between the german and asian made euro lights, my brothers 300CE has bosch headlights and after driving that car and then a 124 with euros, I see a slight difference in how "clean the cut-off is for the light pattern. Not enough difference for me to go spend more than twice as much more. The innards are all the same, what I might do is wait for one of my lenses on my depos to crack then just replace the lenses with a bosch glass unit... much cheaper way to get bosch performance for a better price.

i have depo headlight. the build quality can be discerned from the oem and depo.

what i did was swap out the lens and the reflectors of the depo into the stock ones (since i bought new headlights coz one was cracked)
