87 300D turbo, needs headlights

IVe searched on here and remember seeing somewhere that I can swap E320 headlights for my 1987 300D turbo units.

I cant find it now though...can anyone offer advice on this? Would it just be smarted to get the euro headlights? Reason I was thinking of using E320 lights was because I get them at junkyard for $100 or so. The car is not a beater, but money would be better spent on the interior. I just cant see at night, my lights are cracked and yellow.

Thanks!

it theoretically would work, I havent personally tried it but I do know the curvature of the hood is different- you may have some bit of a gap with your older style hood to the lights. $100 at the yard seems a little high- all the places around here charge $20 each for the units.

OK, I could swear I read on here at some point how you could install E320? lights on 87 300D.

So is my only real option the Euros? If so I'll start searching for threads about them instead to find best ones.

For now I drive around on bright lights and still cant see much.
