Larry:

The only Euros I've run on a 124 is the Bosch, which ran 90/210 in them, relays on the high-beam, which would eliminate the lamp-out warning on the hign-beams (unless the relay coils burned out). I've seen the DEPO and one other aftermarket make 124 Euros, I wouldn't put them in my car unless they're free, huge difference in quality and I've read about some fit/aiming problems. The Euro lights have clear fog lamps BTW, which I much prefer for general open-road driving and lighting the periphrial areas as well as fog/snow. For snow you want the wipers functional.

If you want to run wipers/washers (as I did), you'll also need the Euro wiper motors, arms, and filler panels. The whole job only takes about an hour/side max, including tying the city-light into the corner marker. I also prefer the Euro clear (Bosch) corner markers, they don't have a reflector though so not DOT legal. Better would be the '94-up US clear marker with the amber reflector in the side.

If I were to do it again, I'd probably go with the '94/95 style light, and the 500E Euro to get the clear driving lamp instead of the clear fog, if you really like spending money you can then get the 500E bumper with the integrated fog lamps and the '94/'95 hood to match the lights.
