Federal vs Euro Lights
I've noticed many posts on this forum concerning the preference for euro or US lights, in particular on 123 series cars. Comming from outside the US it's always amused me slightly that nobody seems to realise that "Euro" spec lights were exclusive to 123 series with six cylinder gas engines outside the US. As I've posted before outside the US all other 123's besides the 280's had what you refer to as "US spec" lights. The only difference was that in the US you had to have physically seperate light lenses in the mounting as opposed to everywhere else where you could have the lights Mercedes originally intended. So outside the US you have the same light design except that instead of the round lenses being installed sperately in the glass housing they are integral to it. As seen in this image of a 123 200D in Germany. Assuming of course that I'm able to attach the image...
