w210 euro lights

[JHZR2]

Hi,

My father has a w210 - a 1996. Bought it with 142k, still like new at 198k, and gives 34-36MPG routinely. Only issue has been some rust and the AC compressor.

Anyway, the headlights are really yellow, and one intermittantly leaks. I am curious if this model had 'euro' lights, glass lenses, or anything else different over there. e are thinking of replacing his lights, as theyve gotten rather low in output, despite polishing, etc. and so if there is a euro 'upgrade' Id love to know about it.

Its a 96, doesnt have xenon lights, and Id like to keep it that way. If these lights are half as good as the ones in my saab, theyll be 95% of xenons at 1/2th the cost...

Any ideas???

Thanks!
