Euro headlamps
Anyone heard of this company: Lucid.
I was wondering if I should bid, but they're not Bosch. Craig

He claims that they came in from Germany. What concerns me is, that in the picture with the rear cover removed, there is no vacuum height adjuster.

I think they are made in Taiwan or China, then imported to Germany, then imported to the US. I am basing this on the fact that alot of the other "Euro Market Lights" the seller has listed at website are made there, but they are different brands.

I have Bosch headlights (E-Codes) and they don't have vacuum height adjusters.

I noticed at the end of the pics they gave credit to 2phast's site for the pics.
2phast, do you know anything about this company?

Everyone, the off-shore Euro light copies by companies like TYC, Depo, etc are ok quality but they're not as nice as the real Bosch or Hella lights. Most places want $400-$500 for a set of real Bosch or Hellas, which makes the copies look cheap. However, PUMA (www.puma-access.com) sells the real Hella lights at great prices. I know they can get 124, 126, and 201 chassis lights... but I'm not sure about 123's. Their prices on the 124 lights are fantastic. Give them a call and ask to speak with Paul, he's the Mercedes expert there.
Note: The eBay Lucids are probably a great deal if they sell for under $200... can't beat that price. Another alternative for W123's is to just get the round 7-inch Hella E-codes, they don't look as snazzy as the "one-piece" Euro lights but they work fantastic. Cost is roughly $75/pair from www.rallylights.com, or Paul at PUMA carries them to (not sure on the price though). They are listed as "off road only" but just ignore that silliness.  Regards,
