Just a quick Q.
Where on this side of the pond can I find a set of OEM (Hella or Bosch) Euro headlights?

My 1991 300TD turbo even though LHD came from Japan and has a set of RHD lights, not to mention the reflectoer is busted in one of them... Grrrr.

Thanks for any input!

I've bought from Rusty at www.***************, the Bosch are the good ones.

for knock offs Katmac has them... My w123 knock offs are just as good as the real ones. Heck if you want to you can get Bosch lenses for them(120$ each)

You might also consider how much of the light has to be changed to switch it from RHD to LHD. Lenses for sure, and I'm not sure whether there is a difference in the reflectors, or whether the H4 bulb is mounted at a different inclination. Might be cheaper than you think, ... the fogs are the same.

I got them from Capitol West in Sacramento, in Sacramento, came with everything, even the amber dark orange corners, but that was about 5 years ago, (not sure if they stillstock them for the W126 now, I really like them. Bosch, H4, the best.

Around $550 for all of it, I think. One of the best upgrades I ever did. Makes night driving a pleasure.

Thanks a lot guys. Looking for OEM so I can keep the pneumatic adjuster functional (for the Wow effect) and quality (aftermarket plastic falls apart in your hands BTDT).
Anyone has a set of used good lights??

Dont forget the 6prong receptacle.

it took me 3 years of looking. but i found them. you ether have to be patient or have money. you can find them on the ebay.de side of ebay. but then you have to pay for shipping.

remember your looking for scheinwerfer

Just picked up a pair of used Bosch out of the bay. $100 plus shipping. Have not seen them yet, but they looked OK in the pics. Hopefully they will be at the house when I get home next Sunday. So they are around, just need to be patient to find the right deal. I have been looking around for the last 2 months before getting these.

Same here, Ecology junk yard. I almost shat myself when I saw them. I got both assemblies and a Zebrano wood shift knob for $25. I've never been more stoked.
