RE: euro headlights?
Try eBay. Since it's a rare car they should be going low compared to an online store. I got mine for $210, retail at $250 lowest

Good luck with the Euro headlights. It's a simple upgrade and it really doesn't show how nicer looking the front end is until they are on your car. After getting my car with Euros, I don't see how I could ever go back to the regular one. They look so out of place. (Getting clear corners tomorrow.)

RE: euro headlights?
nice! yeah its very exiting. im thinking about repainting my 280ce? what colors do you think go good with euros? cuz not many colors go with those hideous yellow fog lights too well...so maybe there are more possibilites for euro headlights? suggestions?

RE: euro headlights?
just about any Mercedes paint color.
But I would for a car like that, go with the original paint if possible. |

I have a sweet spot for the silver form the mid-80s i think it is paint code 716. Alibaster silver i think is the name. Look it up to be sure.

RE: euro headlights?
what exactly is a euro headlight? does this describe the beam pattern?....or the glass cut.....or what? since i have a fear of flying, i never made it to Europe to see/know what this means vis a vis automobiles. tnx

This is the authentic European light "conversion" on my W126

RE: euro headlights?
And this is an example of "stock" on a W126.
I'm not too sure with all the ruckus that went on in those days about the headlights on European cars and why they had to change them to "American" spec, but by far, I think the european lights look like they go with the car better, they light up the road better, and they look better over time. Plus with the Euro, it seems easier to customize using the H4 plugs/bulbs. If I wanted to, I could go blue (8000K) with no problem. And they look better with the clear corners (no new pics yet of that.) But that's just my opinion. [IMG]local://upfiles/7896/8CB8F9C0099B4EE08406ADFF8BC70A2E.jpg[/IMG] |
