w126 Euro headlights: Do these look legit? (photos)
Purchased a pair of "MINT" Euro headlights on eBay...received them today. I was inspecting them and nowhere on the back (plastic part) is "Bosch" listed. One of the headlights says BOSCH on the bottom of the glass; center of headlight. The other one says "TYC 20-3089" (again, on the glass). There are also no Mercedes logos on the back.
They seem to be in really good shape, other than some minor rust on the bottom clips that hold the glass on the plastic housing, the fact that the interior seals or plastic are not aligned properly (see side shot) and one of white plastic mountings for the vacuum height adjustment to the adjustment screw looks to be broken. I'm just wondering if these are really Bosch headlights, as the auction represented them to be. I checked eBay and these seem to be in significantly better shape than some of the other Euros currently up for auction. I bought these because the price was right ($297 for the pair plus shipping) and they seemed to be in great shape (from the auction description and photos). I don't plan on installing them anytime soon due to the fact that I'm perfectly happy with the way my Gen 2 lights look on my car, which is an 84. Eventually I want to get an SDL as a second MB diesel, so I figure when I do, then I'll install the Euros on one or the other. What do you think? Are they legit? (see subsequent posts for more photos)

To me it looks like a set of knock off lights with a bosch lens on one. But I could be wrong. The color of the plastic is a lighter gray then my lights.

Take a look at these listings, both of which are clearly Bosch. The first one doesn't appear to have the vacuum leveling adjustment...
