Exclamation Attention Holson Adi

Just wondering how you like the Clear Corner lights you won on Ebay last January. How's the quality?

They are really good - however, the ad clearly stated so....

Bosch OEM parts - However, i have lately returned to the half amber half clear turn signals... just out of boredom I guess and I think the car looks nicer with some color up front

Thank you for the reply. It's kinda funny how you started with amber then went white and now you have both amber/white. I like all the corner lights and the all clear white is the only I haven't had yet.

Hi lino,

actually the 94+ W124s in the US came with the clear corners with the orange/amber strips on them to comply with DOT requirements..

Sorry, I forgot your car is a 1995 . I have been looking at pictures of lights for endless hours and nights and so I just assume that everyone has upgraded their lights.

BTW, I just love the color of your car's interior. It has got to be my personal favourite. It just looks so rich and natural.

I was just looking at pictures of your car and was wondering what kind of tail lights you have. Your lights are grey/red and the upper part looks pinkish. Like in picture:

and this one:

Here is a picture of another car that has the pinkish lights:


Why is that? I want to buy grey/red tail lights for my coupe and don't want the pinkish look. Here are the lights that I want:

Pic 6: These are my favourite


Pic 7: Who makes these lights?

The lights appear pinkish because they are old, this happens to most greyish lights over time when they fade. The pink color comes from the reflection of the red piece inside the tail lights.

So the tail lights in Pic6 and Pic7 ...are these OEM? Are the HELLA tail lights like these?

Thank You

w124 front and rear light upgrade

hello, I have been searching for the best source for a front and rear lighting upgrade on my 1993 300E 3.2

I found www.katmac.com. they do a lot of eBay business.

The eurolights on the front are made by TYC. i suppose BOSCH or Hella would be better right?

The upgraded 94-95 tail lights are what im most interested in. Does anyone know anything about these lights or katmac in general - before i make a purchase!

Thanks

Eric
