FS: 190E/190D Euro Headlights
 

Selling two pairs of Euro style headlights for the W201 chassis (1984-93 190E/190D). $120 SHIPPED.
DEPO lamps came from a parts car and the TYC are still in my daily driver.
Corner/signal lamps also available. Will include ALL bulbs and pair of 6-pin plugs.

PM with email address for high resolution photos.

My question may be better suited for a technical part of the forum but are these any brighter than US lights and do they require modification to the car to fit?

Euro headlights have a less restricted light beam and take standard H4 bulbs instead of whole sealed beam units. Brighter depends on the bulb, but the light spreads over more of the road.
The only modification needed is to the plug, and I should have mentioned I will include a 6-pin plug and point the buyer to instructions on where the pins go. Super simple, takes about one minute and you're good to go.

Euro lights have a focused low-beam, with a mask or optics that cut the beam at the top, angling higher on the passenger side.

US/DOT lights of this era have a much crappier pattern. The high beam filament is in the focal point of the light (reflector, optics), the low beam is high and to the left, shining an un-focused beam low and to the right. This was the FMVSS standard of this time, dismal headlamps. Huge difference, the only down-side to the Euro pattern is that it does not light up overhead signs well on low-beam. Also, the fog-beam is a better light, has a glass reflector with decent optics (and white), vs the crappy yellow fog-beam of the US lights with a (typically cloudy) plastic lens.

Both lights will have 55-watt bulbs, the difference is how much of the light is going where it is supposed to be and not wasted in glare etc.

I cannot comment on the fit/quality of these aftermarket lights, but if they are EEC approved, they should be very good light output/pattern.

Ok that's good to hear. The ones on the car now are pretty bad. I'll talk to the rest of the guys on the team and see if they want them.

Did you ever sell these, or are they still available?

Both pairs are still available

Will this fit a w124 300e ?

Ebay. Depo makes some for the W124 as well

Appreciate the help !

TYC have been sold! Depo units are still available, signal lamps are $25 extra.

DEPO have been sold but the buyer seems to have changed his mind. PM for details.

Beware of this seller. Happy to provide details.

Beware this buyer, who goes by partnumber187 and has created a second account to slander me. Happy to provide details as well.

Buyer asked if I knew of any "potential issues". I told him they were a junkyard find and I wasn't aware of any problems. They tested fine, reflectors are immaculate as the photos will demonstrate and was visible enough looking through the glass that I didn't feel the need to dissect them. Glass and housing are in good shape, aside from a lens assembly that HE broke. Buyer is upset about rust on the "diffusers" that I was unaware of.

That's my username on benzworld, genius. The rusty difussers can be seen through the glass. I'm happy to provide details of our transaction to anyone who is considering buying anything from you.

Whatever you do, don't send PayPal payment as gift to this guy.

I sent high resolution photos of the rusty diffusers that can be seen through the glass. Dude, I offered to refund you minus shipping even after your petty behavior and slander.

You did not offer any sort of refund. You didn't respond at all.

Didn't respond at all? That is a FAT LIE. Check your email dude, I sent it over 10 minutes ago.

10 minutes? I emailed you two days ago, and you only finally got back to me today refusing to refund.
