OSRAM/Sylvania 2357A dual filament orange bulb, for clear turn signals.

Or go to the dealer, tell them you have a 95 E320 and they will get you the right bulb.

Sylvania even has it wrong:

The clear version is 7528 for orange housed turn signals.

1157 are wrong. they go in backwards. what did you buy?

Oh thats funny! I went to pepboys again today to see if they had any other orange ones that were not listed on the part finder and I found those 2357A!! They work perfect :D

I should have my Depo Euro headlights on monday, then my euro connectors tuesday/wednesday.

I will provide before and after pictures of course :)

I just got a set of Depo lights as well. I am sure they'll be fine once I sort them out, but mine arrived with one lens cracked and the other with a bubble right in the middle of the lens. Look yours over closely and be sure they're good ones. Can't beat the price -- I got mine for $170 shipped!

Thanks for the heads up. Mine was $185 so I'm very happy :) As nice as it would be to own the OEM Bosch ones, I can't justify 3 times the price for not anywhere near 3 times the looks. I can't even tell a difference between my Bosch clearcorners and the Depo ones I just got. If anybody wants an OEM Left side corner let me know

I agree on the cost matter with the Bosch and Hella lights. They would be nice, but the rest of my car is more "Depo" grade than Hella. :grin: The Depos will do just fine for me. Looks yours over closely when you get them; the cracked one I got was a small crack near the lower inside corner. Hopefully yours will arrive intact!

Pretty sweet man. Your wagon is gonna be like the same car as mine... :)

Same wheels too.


I got those plugs. I will mail em out on Monday.

Depos suck. For some reason they put crap over the adjusting screws so you can't adjust them, or at least mine were like that.

Adjust them?

Ara T. 06-01-2008 05:36 AM

Yes, you know, adjusting the beam pattern. One headlight was aimed at the sky while the other was too low :rolleyes: lol.

cscmc1 06-01-2008 10:10 AM

That's odd -- mine are adjustable. Wonder why they would do that?

Cept with a misfire :D
I should have that Altitude Sensor on tuesday. If that doesn't fix it, screw it. It's going to Enrique. My last ditch effort...I've tried as best I could having zero experience with engines and nobody to help me. One day this will be resolved....Hopefully that day will be tuesday.

Maybe he got a bad one. Hopefully mine are pointed straight and can be adjusted if needed.

ps2cho 06-02-2008 08:24 PM

Got them today! They look GREAT. Just waiting on Euro connector now.

I totally forgot about bulbs. Any recommendations?

ps2cho 06-03-2008 02:13 PM

anybody know of some good bulbs? Can I just get some from Pepboys?

iwrock 06-03-2008 02:28 PM

I use Silver Star bulbs. Really bright white light.

iwrock 06-03-2008 02:29 PM

A little off topic, but what tint is on the back of you car? How dark is it?
