Hi all! New to the board but have been lurking for some time now. Must say that this is probably the best source of information for MBs of all shapes and sizes save for having an MB Tech on call 24/7!

I am contemplating an upgrade of a 93 500E and have already reserved the 94/95 hood and grill, clear corners, and red/clear tail lights from my dealer. In respect of the Euro spec headlights, are there differences between standard 94/95 W124 headlamps and 94/95 E500 headlamps? I noticed that the North American versions of the older (pre 94/95) 500Es had driving lamps instead of fog lamps. Does the same hold true for the Euro versions of the 94/95s as well?

Also, what is the highest rated (wattage) bulbs that the 94/95 Euro headlamps would accept without undue damage/melting etc.? Suggestions most welcome!

Thanks for all replies.
