FS: W116 euro headlights - PeachParts Mercedes-Benz Forum

#1 10-10-2008, 05:20 AM

From a 1977 450SEL. They will fit any 1973-1980 W116. They are genuine OEM Bosch, not aftermarket!

Glass lenses are in good condition, no chips or cracks. Some corrosion on the outside of the glass from normal use. Plugs and mounting screws included. Pictures will be posted if requested.

SOLD! Thank you!

Here are the pictures. The left one has some metal corrosion on the bottom corner of the housing that does not affect operation and is not visible with the body trim in place. A good cleaning and some sealant should prevent it from progressing.

They have the manual height adjustment (high/low), not vacuum.

They are fun to play with. With linux based repo, installer and cydia, to run 3rd party apps and tweaks. They are selling online for a pretty penny, 250 350 ish here in phoenix. These phones are not nearly as rare as the 116 euros that i need desperatly.

hit me back if youd like to trade!

Adam

I agree to the trade.

I think I'll need to rewire them, I don't want to jerk you around, I can send them back if you like and cover your original shipping, or I can pay you for them and fix em. I don't mean to be a square, how can I suffice the situation?

Its now the 20th and no iPhone has come yet so I send this:

If the little ****s who opened the package on my porch had took off with it, I wouldn't feel inclined to pay at all. Money is on it's way.
Sorry and good luck.

He offered the trade of an iPhone knowing the condition based on the photos I posted. Nowhere did I guarantee their functionality or say that I had tested their operation (They're 30 years old!). Thats why I posted high quality pictures (the largest the forum software would allow) so potential buyers that know more about W116's than I could judge for themselves. He has now broken the agreement and as far as I'm concerned he still owes me the iPhone.

UPDATE: I just received the following insult and threat from him

HE broke our trade agreement. I sent the lights to him the next day because he was so enthusiastic to get them. He dawdled around and screwed me over by not sending me the agreed payment (or ANY kind of payment) for 2 weeks.

That is VERY poor etiquette from him by any standard.

BEWARE, don't buy or sell anything from Adam Dabrowski, hoborobot69

reason why I never send an item without being paid for it.

its just the world we live in, you can't trust anyone anymore. Atleast you got some sort of payment.

Watch out for hoborobot69, HE IS A THIEF!

79Mercy · #8 11-04-2008, 07:36 PM

so you didn't get any funds for the headlights?

#9 11-04-2008, 07:50 PM

He screwed me over.

First he offered an iPhone in trade for the lights. Then he got buyers remorse an broke that deal so he decided he would send $200. He sent $150 instead. Now he is "so discusted in the manner that (I) chose to deal with a simple request" and he has disabled his e-mail and PM and refuses to pay the shipping costs he owes me.
