I have a set of round Euros but one has a small rock chip with a tiny that ruined the reflector. I can fix the lens with epoxy. I bet I'd be SOL trying to find a replacement reflector though.

You wouldn't by any chance be looking to part with those round euros, would you? I'm a repair madman, because I tend to just dive in to the deep end of things. I can plate reflectors, and that's the hardest aspect of reflector repair. I've never done it on MB lamps, but I've pulled it off on things like MG and Triumph parts, some of which were even dreaded plated plastic.

My wife hates the square euros, I hate the US spec lamps, and one of mine is really messed up, so I obviously need round euros.

I am planning to replace my 7" US sealed beams with Cibie H4 domed lens e-code replacements. They are about $62 each.

Thank You for that link.....I just read a portion of the website, and I like what he has to say about personal service....something very lacking in today's marketing strategies.....I will give him a call in the future.....

I am also seriously thinking of replacing the fogs with 5 3/4" e-code high beams to use as driving lights wired thru a relay and switch to the high beam circuit and installing some aux fog lamps under the bumper where they should have been in the first place.

I just might. Instead of cash I might be interested in some Mercedes parts in exchange.PM me and we can "talk".
