Thanks Linds,

Presumably those part numbers are for the complete headlights. I just checked the part numbers on the MB Classic Centre site and they are described a "lighting unit", they are available and the prices are 274.34 euros each (ouch!).

I am still hoping to determine the possibility of fitting just the 500E lenses to my existing lamp units (Bosch) but only if the RHD 500E lenses still have the long range driving (spot) light pattern and only if the lenses fit my housings and only if the reflectors in my fog lights will work as long range driving lights with the different (less fluted?) lenses.

I would still like someone with RHD versions of the 500E headlights to confirm for me that the additional (inner) high beam driving lights do indeed give a long range spot beam pattern, not the broad horizontal pattern of the normal W124 fog lights. I would expect the beam pattern to be even more concentrated than that from the high beam of the outer H4 hi-lo beams. I do know that in the LHD versions this is achieved by way of very little fluting in the 500E driving light lens whereas the W124 fog light lens is heavily fluted. There is also the question of whether some of this beam pattern results from a different shaped reflector for the inner lamps.
