NEW lights for W124

Has anyone installed these lights or seen them in person? They're different from every other W124 headlight I've seen. They appear to come in styles for both 86-93 and 94/95.

No really,,, I do think they are good looking. Must be an eye of the beholder thing.

They come with a discount coupon for having flames painted on your car.

If you ask me I would say that, well yes they look great...... but don't fit them on your MB.... Keep your car in original style. If you want a new'er E-class, buy one.

These will probably become the most cheesy, low-quality part on your car if you install them. They're not German made or made for a German company. Good luck.

Well...

I have to admit I was wondering the same thing. Has anyone actually put these lights in yet? Style is in the eye of the beholder, I agree. May not be everyone's cup of tea, but I'd still like to know if they are really crappy and how the light pattern is. I guess the three big bulbs are low, high, and fog? Plus the city light.

If anyone springs for these, I'd love to hear about it.

I put euro lights on my 123 wagon, and the lighting is incredible. I put my wife in a nimble 124 coupe for her backroad drive to work in Napa. She says she misses the wagon lights. Where are sources for euro 124 lights?
