Butchered Euro Lights

I scored a set of W116 euro lights off of a 450SEL in the junkyard today. It wasn't until I got them home that I realized they had been molested in the federalization process. Somebody hacked the main reflectors apart and shoved sealed beam bulbs in their place. All this fits behind the euro lenses making it look like a standard euro light. Weird. I guess I will be parting them out. At least I got the headlight wiper/washer setup.

It was a clever way to meet the sealed beam light requirement, I'll give it that.

I'm glad I never had to change the bulbs! You would have had to take the whole dang light apart!
