Price Quote for 500E Euro Lights

From Speed Autoteile in Germany they cost 134.40 Euros each (about 170 USD.) You can choose either amber or clear corners.

-via UPS/DHL (3-4 days): approx. 69,00 Euro + 5% fuel surcharge & security fee

+ 1% insurance, but minimum 12,00 Euros per each cargo !

(the shipment costs are so high because of the dimension weight of the package !)
Despite the DHL/UPS fee that isn't too bad.

That is a pretty good deal. I wish I had thought my Euros through a little better because I would've gotten the E500E lights. Now I can't justify the expense!!

Feel the pain I managed to bend a wheel (pothole) last friday. Not too bad but the front left had already been dinged by the previous owner. Hopefully I'll be able pinch the funds together for the Euros next week.

Does anyone know if you can swap the headlight washers from the 94/95 US lights to the Euros?

your current headlight wiper/washers are a direct swap with euro lights.

for sure they will interchange.

The turnaround was pretty terrible and I didn't have backup transport.

Hmmm... they've sent me two left hand units and for the E320/E420 rather than E500 headlamps. Gray interior rather than chrome... and with the fogs rather than the pencil beams.

Edit - Double checked their listings. The chrome Hellas are offered only on the 92 according to their computer and for all other years they offer these "regular" W124 headlamps. I assume thats a mistake on their part but I should have caught it.

Getting two Left hand lamps though... I believe thats their issue. One of them also has a rather essential tab broken off.


For the curious this a Bosch Clear Corner as offered in Europe.
