Hey guys does anybody know if the depo w123 headlights have vacuum adjust or not? I tried searching but it seems some people say they do and some people say they don't

I have those lights. They do NOT have the vac stuff on them. If you get them, you must take them apart and seal the lens to the housing, or they will get condensation. Mine stayed clear for about 3 months, and then started condensing. I like them.

Find a real set of Euros; they're quite common.

I installed a set of Depo's in my 124 about three years ago. I guess I've been lucky, I didn't know I had to seal them and they haven't fogged. They did not have vacuum adjust.

Alright it looks like I'm gonna hunt the junkyard for a set of high specs with vacuum.

POS I already have Hella Low specs on my car, these will be for a 1984 300TD euro spec wagon that already has vacuum lines for the headlights.

It just has US headlamps on it from federalization, I hope to have the car by late June if i'm lucky.

Would it be too much to ask for you to illustrate to me how the vacuum lines are supposed to be hooked up for the headlight adjustment?

I, too, have a newly purchased set of Depo headlights for my '87 w124. They DO have the vacuum adjustment in them, but to plumb it for operation will cost another $200 or so (according to Phil). Guess they'll just have to sit there on the stops for now.

Sorry the car is about two hours from me, and I don't own it (yet)
