How about part numbers for just the lenses? This is for those who already have "Euro" headlights and wish to gain driving lights in place of the fog lights. It is also based on the assumption that the Hella 500E and E500 lenses will fit the standard "Euro" headlights (often Bosch) and that the reflector in the fog light section is suitable for use with the driving light lens. Can anyone verify this?
If all the above is OK, then how about part numbers for 500E and E500 lenses for those of us with the steering wheel on the right side (as opposed to the wrong side
)? I know that there were no right hand drive 500E/E500, but I also know that some are registered for use on the roads in the UK. These would require lenses that give the opposite low beam cut-off (ie. \_\_ for right hand drive as opposed to _/_/ for left hand drive). Can any 500E/E500 owners in the UK verify this? If you are wondering where all this is leading, it is because I would seriously consider buying just the 500E lenses for my 300TE if I knew for a fact that they are available for right hand drive and that they would fit and work with my existing Bosch housings and reflectors (our Aussie 124s got right hand drive Bosch "Euro" lights as standard).
Lino's part number list would therefore read:
Left hand drive:
500E headlight - left
500E headlight - right
500E headlight lens - left
500E headlight lens - right
E500 headlight - left
E500 headlight - right
E500 headlight lens - left
E500 headlight lens - right
Right hand drive:
500E headlight - left
500E headlight - right
500E headlight lens - left
500E headlight lens - right
E500 headlight - left
E500 headlight - right
E500 headlight lens - left
E500 headlight lens - right
