Okay.. here goes.

Been browing through old posts, and this topic was never really "hit on the head", so to speak. There's a ton of options out there for W124's and 126's, as far as headlamps go.. so here's the question.

I have an 84 300D Euro.. unfortunately, before I bought it, whoever brought it over from Germany, had the Hellas removed. Ultimately, I'd LOVE to get my hands on a nice set of hella lights for this thing, since the car still has the city light aimer in the dash, even. But until that time comes.. what can I do, to make these cheezy US-spec circle sealed-beams brighter? Are there any particular brands that produce good high/low beam light output? Right now, I have set of standard Sylvannia bulbs in there.. which barely do the job.

I know there are better "circle" lights out there.. but not sure where to get them, or what type to get. Help!

Contact Typejr...he usually has a set for sale or can get them...I bought mine from him...He is cheaper than Ebay too.

here is a link to some like i had befor i bought the euro lights, these give similar benefits as the euro lights, but without the cost. the link is to fastlane, the hella number for the lights are 70476, they use replaceable bulbs likely sold seperately, i recommend getting 9003 st bulbs, these are not the sealed beam type,

Those Hella H4 lights are definately a possibility! Only thing I'm wondering, is if they require any modifications to the car. Also, don't I lose my high-beams by putting those in? What I'm looking for, really, are lights that are brighter than what I have now (standard), without too much hassle, until I can get Euro's back on the car (where they belong!)..

the low and high beams are both there, since these are 7 inch bulbs they will mount right in, i had them on my 123 before the euro conversion

EXACTLY the sort of thing that I was looking for! Any reccomendation for which bulb to get? Silverstar?

Also, do you reccomend the Bosch or the Hellas? I've seen quite a few of these Bosch ones on 123's around this site. Heck, anything is better than the cheezy sealed beams that I have right now.

get the silverstars, the number is 9003 ST, they are nice and bright, with out the annoying fake xenon blue, i had hella, but the bosch are probably just as good
