corner lights in '81 240d
Anyone know if the W126 lights found on ebay/websites (for $15.00) will fit on my W123? They look very similar. http://stores.channeladvisor.com/kayee2501/Items/cl-w126-8091-c?
A couple of days ago, when cruising down the highway....I lost my front corner light (mine are/were white, not orange). I was so happy to be going 65mph in my 240, I refused to stop and pick up the pieces. I talked to Phil on fastlane and he was very helpful.....only problem is I don't have $130 and 6 weeks to wait for new ones from Germany. Any suggestions or parts for sale? Many thanks to the forum...this place is great.

Nope, you gotta use the w123 ones.

No, sorry, they are not interchangeable. I don't recall seeing a clear/white side marker on a 123, so to replace I'm sure is going to be a problem.

oh well
thanks for the responses. I figured as much.....but before I spent the $130 (which is sorely needed on other areas of the car), I wanted to check with those in the know.
Yeah, the white markers are strange. I'm assuming a PO changed them? It's not a Euro model either. Anybody know why they sell cheap w126 corners and not w123s? Supply and demand I suppose. Just seems odd (and terribly unfortunate).

They have the clear corner lights for W123s on ebay all the time.

Personally, I like the yellow ones better than the white ones. I think I only paid about $50 each when I replaced my yellow lights.

thanks for the tips....unfortunately, nothing turned up on ebay or katmac (left clear markers). Plenty of w124 and w126 lenses....but not much for 123's.
I guess somebody parting out is my cheapest option.

bgkast - I love you.
Seriously....many thanks. Apparently, I can't filter thru parts on Ebay very well
