headlight assembly or [lens + rim]? 1992 W124. + bulb question
What I need are just lens (the clear glass) and rim (the clear plastic for foglight) on the right.
$52.94 + $89.73 = $142.67 If I buy the whole assembly for right side, it is $189.54. (this picture is for left) Do you recommend the assembly? What is the advantage of buying the whole assembly? =============== Another separate question. I have 1992 US versiong lighting. Not Euro version. Which set of bulbs do you recommend? Which lasts long? How brigher are the expensive bulbs? H-3 55 W Osram / Sylvania $4.53 / each 9004 Osram / Sylvania $ 6.63 /each H-3 Sylvania SilverStar $22.49 /each 9004 Sylvania SilverStar $44.98 /pair H-3 55w=110w PIAA Extreme white $54.95 / pair 9004 55/65w = 95/120w PIAA Extreme White Plus $74.95 / pair I just called PIAA. She said they offer 1-year warranty. I also talked to her that Sylvania claims that their SilverStar is brighter than PIAA. But she said PIAA is brigher. She said PIAA will last 2~3 years in typical usage. While Sylvania says SilverStar will typically last 1 year. I called Sylvania and asked about their claim that SilverStar is brighter than PIAA. I asked her which model was compared: PIAA Extreme White or PIAA Platinum Super White or other model? She said she could not answer.
