I don't think the 300SD was offered outside North America in 84.
OE headlights in good condition fetch about $500. $100 or so more with wipers. Sixto 87 300D |

Like Sixto pointed out, there's no such thing as a Euro w126 SD- never sold in Europe.

So, I think he's more interested in the value of the Euro bumpers and lights than whether it is the correct year/model to have them originally.

Possibly, but I'm curious about the 'Euro package.' I see ads for MBs claimed to be Euros when in fact they're full US spec cars for which the original buyer took European delivery. I had such an 81 SD. The only things left from European delivery were a Euro assistance phone number decal on the glove box lid and an interesting series of service stamps in the service log.
I'd guess up to $400 for a set of Euro bumpers in excellent condition. There is limited demand for bumpers in excellent condition and I image close to none for bumpers in need of repair. OE Euro headlights will sell in minutes. Trunk lid warning triangles and passenger seat fire extinguisher mounts fetch some good coin too. Sixto 87 300D |

It's pretty hard to tell from the bumpers and lights whether it's a Euro.
I've had friends who brought Porsches and Mercedes back from Europe every year (bought and drove on vacation, brought them home) and had them federalized, some of the bumpers and lights were destroyed and some were put back on the cars. My Father tosses a perfect set of Lucas Tripods that came on his Sprite, if only he would have asked me, ... but he had to take them off when he got the car here (6months old). I on the other hand, bought my cars from the dealers over here, and like many of my friends, immediately bought and installed Euro lights and bumpers. In the end, it doesn't much matter (regarding the OP) whether the bumpers were installed at the factory or later, there weren't any aftermarket sources for Euro bumpers and lights at the time, so they're OE parts. They might also be significantly newer than the car. The triangles and fire-extinguishers not so much. The interiors of the Euro cars were also typically more spartan, more cloth and manual windows, less sunroofs.

Would $300 for the bumpers in good shape be to much ? The euro lights $250 for a clean set?Is any one interested in this set up for your 300sd?

I doubt you'll be able to sell the bumpers for more than $150 each. There just is not a great demand for euro bumpers for the w126. Nice Bosch w126 euros go for about $200-$250 for a very good condition used pair.
