Some recent pics of my car...
Me and a buddy were bored so we went down to da Huntington Beach to take some pics...my newest mod is my black painted grill insert that I did myself. They aren't the best pics but I am pleased on how they came out...

Looks great! The freshly-painted grille, along with your headlights, really help to make the car look young and clean! Goes great with the white too.
Car would look even better on those wheels if it was lowered just a little bit!

All of our cars are always a work in progress, as is mine, however, I have noticed on a number of earlier w124's owners have been buying these crystal clear headlights which look good, don't get me wrong, but to me, the gap around the old grille looks kinda odd... has anyone tried filling this with pre '94 headlight eyebrows? I would think that it would make the appearance a little more clean. Might have to have some spacer but I would think it could be done.

is a German Tank
It's a marketing thing for these after market light dealers to sell these 94-95 lights to the pre-facelift market.
this is why I opted for mine too, the fact that they didn't bring the gaps and were the only aftermarket lights not to bring them! (aside from aftermaket euros)
Natural person has already filled in his gaps via headlight eyebrows, and color matching them to his car.
I dont think they look too bad even with the gaps...to each is own I guess.

In person, the gap isnt all that big....its the way the headlamp is designed which makes the gap bigger than it actually is. Yes, from the side you will notice the gap much more than if you look at the car from the front. The lamp sort of has a contour behind the lense, in the chrome molding, that kinda looks like an eyebrow. Thats what I liked about these headlamps and plus no one had them at the time of my purchase; that is also the part that makes the gap look bigger, if any of that makes any sense. But thanks for the commenting....
