not worth the change ..
Lamps are H4s for both ..
Pre face-lift 124s [ before '94] will be a great improvement, but not 94/95 models.
One will also notice that the DOT reflectors have the City lamp cut-out hole, indicating reflector is same..
You will have a hard time telling any difference... at least, that is what I have found.

Thanks Arthur, that’s exactly the information I am looking for (and somewhat expeced). So there really isn’t a reason to replace the entire headlight. Since I have a cracked lens I might as well switch to ECE glass (assuming this is possible) - don’t you think?
If the reflector bowl and other internals are pretty much the same, if I move to a relayed harness, ceramic H4 connector, and 80/100 bulb I should be in business. Agreed?
What are the part numbers for the city lamp socket? I might as well activate those, no?
