first of all, w124 lights are the same thru out models and years.

in '94 & '95 cars the hood was changed,there fore the LENS shape was changed to fit around new hood. also the 'e' designation came before the model number. examples e500 vs 500e and so on.

the 500e lights do NOT take a h1 bulb. they take the standard h3.

500e lights will fit on your car.

hella is the ONLY manufacturer of 500e/e500 euro lights.
these all have driving lights instead of fogs.

my personal opinion is hid's are not designed for the regular h4 lense and reflector, there fore imo potentially dangerous to others on the road.

go to the daniel stern website if you want to know the 'facts' regarding this conversion.

it is your car and your choice to get hids or not.

i'm not trying to give you a hard time, sometimes technologies aren't really compatible. most [euro] hid cars have a automatic leveling system when hids are used-extra safety margin.
too much light in someones eyes can be very dangerous. i know i would not enjoy encountering 'the rising sun' on a dark road.

if you really want to have them, yes the 500e set-up seems most logical because of high beam capability.

run.exe and several others here have done or doing this mod, you can also search at bnzsport some people there have done this too.
does [some of] this answer your questions?
