Euro Headlights or Clear Lenses
This is on dark gray, 91 560 SEL, 55k...
As described in earlier posting, I am having some front end repairs. So I might as well take this opportunity to change the headlights. I really like the clear lenses best.
Am I looking for Euro lights? Clear lenses? Where should I look? Will my wipers still work?

If you don't mind a used one, eBay has plenty of them. Search W126 on eBay. And the US wiper system will NOT work with the Euro light. I got rid of mine and replaced the bottom parts without the wiper holes.

Well, I guess with some modifications, you could make it works. I was just saying a stock US wiper will not work with the Euro headlight. At least that's what the catalog stated when I ordered mine.
