I'm afraid I haven't taken a picture of the car since I've installed the Euro's.

I just ordered a digital camera today (Canon S45) on the internet, and will post a picture as soon as I receive it.

I'd like to do the same for my 300SD 1984 but euro lights are pretty expensive aren't they? I hate to spend so much money on my older car.

Where's the best source to get them? My other 300SD came with them when bought and I think they look awesome?

best source for?

lowest price, [some/slight sacrifice in quality]?**

best price [for good/better quality]?

www.adsitco.com can trade in old lights, they also have used euros.

www.puma-access.com call for pricing-paul

ebay has used w126 euros fairly regularly.

you can watch the classified section here also

a few places to start

**if you deal with importvision be prepared to buy all your instructions, wiring, and bulbs seperate.

there are alot of things to consider before a deal is really good.

I just received the Depo's for the SDL. They have a built in vacuum height adjustment. Has anyone utilized this feature on these headlights? What additional hardware (regulator of some sort) is required and where can it be obtained?

suginami · #41 08-04-2004, 03:50 PM

Omegabenz was selling the parts necessary for the headlight vacum adjustment: the hoses, panel, etc.

Try doing a search or PM'ing him.

Brian Carlton · #42 08-04-2004, 04:12 PM

Thanks Sug. I'll do it.

question for all you e-coders.....do you construct new harness' with relays such that you can run high wattage bulbs....thats my plan unless I opt for HID. It seems to me that most people just change the headlights and still use 55/60 H4 bulbs.---as opposed to 80/100, or 90/130's.

Ok so I installed the depo lights in my 87 sdl last night, on the drivers side I got the wiper motor bracket to work by drilling a new slot and grinding that bump flat. the passenger side doesnt look like i can modify to make work, the light look great when when they light up down the road its not as focused or uniform as it should be so im thinking the brackets/lower light support are the culpret. how have you all gotten around this? im thinking if i order euro wiper mount/brackets from the dealer i should be fine.
