Not only that you will love the beam pattern they throw in addition to the brightness.

Then decide if you want the Euro headlight wiper washers.

On the W126 cars, if you want to get rid of, or just replace with euro, your headlight wipers, you will have to have to replace the valances below the headlights, which are one piece for the sedans and two pieces for the coupes.


Hopefully that helps
I definitely want to go for the Bosch Euros; but being a kid who only works during the summer (full-time student), are they economical? I love the way they look, and especially because they work SO much better, but 600 for a new set is kinda steep; haven't been junkyard diving in CT but I don't think there are many W126's, let alone Euros around...

Is the only way to obtain the washers at a junkyard? Or, let me rephrase: any way to not sell my soul to Mercedes-Benz for new ones?


Thanks a million,


Carlen

P.S. Very sharp SEC's, I absolutely love the flag post; it's my dream to procure a set
