I've never seen one. Don't think the E-class (or its predecessors) got them until W124.

what makes the French light so desirable? Is it the yellow reflectors?

I prefer the yellow fog's... so when I bought my depo lights I carefully removed the old yellow "jar's" from the original DOT lights that the fog bulb fits into. I cleaned them and installed them on the new depo fog sockets. You can see the yellow from the outside but not as well as a yellow reflector. I am happy with it myself.

Perhaps it's not the yellow reflector that makes them French. Maybe they only work 4 days a week like the French.

yes, the french euros have the yellow reflectors for the fogs. i find them to be the nicest looking lighting upgrade for the w123, and other models as well. i got a set on e-bay shipped from france for my w123. excellent purchase!
