Euro headlights
Good day! I'm interested in changing the headlights in my 1989 300 E into Euro headlights, and I've surfed the net for all the options I have. So far, I've found:
1.Euro headlights, which are the entire thing (glass cover, housing, bulb,wires, etc.) These cost about 300-500 dollars depending on the sites you visit.
2. Another thing I saw was "Euro" headlights, by dropping a flat piece of glass (or is it plastic?) which essentially makes the front of the stock headlight flat. I saw one adverstised for 88 dollars.
Which one do you guys have? Are their any advantages or disadvantages to each? I'm also planning to change the turn lights, to clear corners, which of the two options would go with the clear corners? I just want a clean look.
If you have pics, I'd appreciate it if you can post them. Thanks!

the ebay guy is on drugs...
you canNOT have euro lights by just changing the glass lense.
do not waste your money!!!!
those lenses do NOT even have the plastic rim.
to get the real thing it will cost you.

A quick question about Euro lights and wipers. Will these Euro lights allow me to keep my wipers? Are they palstic or glass lenses? If they are plastic, who makes glass? Got a link? thx...

Good advise for those in areas that use sand/cinders instead of salt and those in rural sandy/gravel areas. When I lived in NM, I think 98% of windshields had at least a small crack...

Mine got that way in Houston - no salt, no sand, no snow - just everyday road crap hitting them.
