Ask for Ken, he's very nice and helpful. I think I heard about him here way back when I was looking to upgrade my headlights. Someone said he's very helpful, and they weren't kidding. I called the place and don't remember if I asked for him or if he just picked up the phone, but he was nice and had very good custpomer service.

Here is a pic of my '90 190E with updated (DEPO) headlights. What I did (and what you can do too if you want a crisp look) before installing the headlights was went to Pep Boys and bought a roll of chrome tape (the wide sheet) and then masked the grey plastic parts surrounding the reflectors. Now you have to have patients to do this. What I did was use some paper and sort of "molded" to areas I wanted to tape up, then cut the shape and copied it to the chrome tape, then cut it to the desired shape so that it would have a decent fit and look all blended in. It was time consuming but worth it. The chroming of the headlight interior gives it a somewhat expensive and even more updated look. I think the Hella lights also have the gray plastic parts around the reflectors. Btw, I got this awesome idea from someone here!

If your car is a US-spec model and the headlight assembly is anything like the W201 assembly, then I take it that you will need a pair of Euro-spec connectors when switching to euro headlights. I don't think the DEPOS came with them as I recall having to go to the dealership and buying them for a fairly civil price. US-spec headlight connectors have four pins whereas Euro-spec have six pins, if I'm not mistaken. Now, disclaimer, this setup is what I used for my W201 190E (it may also apply to the W124 300E):

US-spec...................Euro-spec
pin 2 (brown wire) --> goes into pin 2
pin 1 (green wire) --> goes into pin 6
pin 3 (yellow wire) --> goes into pin 5
pin 4 (white wire) --> goes into pin 4

Hope this helps.

TYC, Depo, etc are great and all, but you can't get replacement lenses, or at least I couldnt get them.

At least with Bosch or hella you usually can, but they command a premium.
