YES, '94-'95 headlights look like euro's, but they produce the same ouput of light as the earlier headlights. They only thing going for them is that the look like euro's. The appearance of the '86-'93 headlights really detract from the look of the cars.
If you want real light - if you really want to see where you're going, you need to purchase real euro's, for either the '86-'93 style, or the '94-'95 style.
The difference is that the grill portion of the hood was redesigned for '94-'95, and the headlights have to fit the different shape of the hood.
The interior of the 1993 300TE is exactly the same as '94-95's.
The differences are all exterior. '94-'95's have:
1. the updated hood / grill.
2. "euro style" headlights
3. clear front indicators with a yellow strip
4. red / clear taillights. '93's have red / clear / amber.
5. the impact strip on the front and rear bumpers is painted. On '93s they are black.
You can do like I did: change the headlights, front corners, rear taillights, and paint the bumper impact strips, and only the most obsessed Mercedes afficionado would be able to tell the difference.
