Paul (suginami) -

If you lights are original Bosch, for a W124, then they are glass lenses. They don't come in plastic (I checked when ordering mine). Check the lenses - if you see a capital "E" followed by a number, say E1 or E13 or something, then they are Euro-spec, glass headlights. The glass is so smooth and thick it can *feel* like plastic... The lens should be stamped "Bosch" as well (over the foglight area).

Enjoy them, they ROCK!

Chris

Just for the record, I removed the lenses on my Bosch euro's, and they are glass.

They have Bosch stamped on the lower right of the fog lamp area, and have E1 stamped in three different places on the glass.

Wait until you first kick on the brights on a dark country road...

They're awesome! A total swindle that the stock lights are so poor and we have to dish out the $$$ to get the ones they should have come with in the first place!

Man....four years.

Time sure does fly. It feels like it was only a year or so ago.
