Lights Help..Need Feedback Junk, Decent?

Take a look at these lights. Has anyone tried them? It doesn't list a manufactor so I can't investigate. They look nice, but I don't know if they will hold up, or if they are cheap. Anyone try these?

Thanks, chadd

shadowgriffen,

Do you just not like the looks of them, or do you think they are a piece of junk.

thanks

there was a member over in europe that had those and he said he liked them. But looks, they are horrible. The only reason i would get a crystal clear lens is to put in projector hid's...

how much are those crystal headlights? the ones you have, i like those better. I have a 94 e320 convertible, silver with the replica amg 5-spoke 17"s. I haven't done much to it yet, but those lights might look nice on it.

I bought my whole set up at www.katmac.com he had the crystal headlamps but i just got done from going to his site and i dont see them anymore...i am waiting for a reply of an email i sent him...his phone number is listed if u want to call him. i bought everything for $200-$300 including headlamps, clear corners, taillamps, and bulbs. its an easy replacement that comes with instructions. Mention my name (Omar Galindo) and tell him i referred you, maybe he'll give u a discount? Maybe he will? BTW, they my crystal tail lamps on ebay that are LED's if u like them but they are more price...

those lights will take away from the look of the car... 'round' is not a shape associated with a w124....

Guys, it seems like he has decided that he likes the way they look. He's asking whether or not they are pieces of crap, not whether or not we like them. I can't help you there, man. I went with the TYC brand Euros, and they seem great. I also got mine on ebay from katmac. The guy there was very nice and helpful.

I just thought i'd tack something onto oniell's comment about the seat switch, not to hijack. I did an extrutiatingly detailed writeup on mercedesshop that might also be of some help. If you read down the thread, another guy posted a link to some pictures that he took when he did his. Between those two threads, you should be set!

I don't like the style but if you're looking to replace a broken light or have a W124 that you don't really care about then go for it. It's a lot cheaper than buying lights from the dismantler/recycler. Keep in mind however, it's not OEM so don't expect OEM quality.

I'm sorry friend but I don't own these so I couldnt really tell you if the quality is good or not...

I based my critique on looks alone...

Thanks for all the responses, I see what you mean as far as looks are concerned. I am going to contact katmac, and get his lights.

Thanks for all the help.
