I had to jog through my memory and with a bit of help from Google and Ebay I found the name of the company. Here is their website: http://www.importvision.com/
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! ![]() Last edited by frosty; 05-25-2008 at 04:15 AM. |

Do these aftermarket headlights require a euro connector or is that only for the OEM Bosch?

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. |

If you are going to spend almost $700 at bekkers for 300E bosch euro lights, go with the 500E hella euro lights for about $850-900. Go over and look on 500Ecstasy.com for more info on the 500E euro lights.
500E euros have chromed insides and driving lights instead of fog lights. If you prefer foglights, then go with bosch. This has been discussed in many posts. I think www.puma-access.com or performance products has better pricing than bekkers. For that matter, Ill sell you my near new 300E euro bosch ones for $700 and Ill buy the 500E euros for my car! =) I even have an extra 300E/TE vacuum adjust kit, complete. Ive got a right bosch lense if you are still looking, several I think. You must email me, not PM. 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.
