Headlight Housing
I have been looking into upgrading the halogen lights on my 97 E320. I noticed that some websites have two different headlight housings for sale, one for halogen and one for xenon. does anyone know if the housings themselves are the same? such as, did mercedes use the same glass/reflector for both xenon and halogen, only the bulbs are what would be different?

300E a couple 1994 w124wagon E320 Wagon/,1971MGB Track/Rally, MG Midget Autocross ,2000 E320 wagon.

you can polish the oem lens,search for the diy or ask how.Then if you want more light,go with the 65watt rally bulb from danielstern lighting.Longer life than oem h7 bulb and more light.
Just my preference,They throw more light then the depos and I cant stand the bluish look of those things.
"GOT LIGHT?"
