124 headlights
i have been repairing mercedes cars for many years, i have never owned a 124 or driven one at night. today i did, the headlight beams were directly on the ground infront of the car. are all 124's like that? i tried to raise them with no luck. seems dangerous

My chum's '87 300E is like that. I found it odd. Even the second gen DOT lamps on my SD now are better.

Must need aimed. Both of our 124's have, in my opinion, great headlights,,, even a lot better than the 129 I have.

Agreed. Aiming it correctly is the key.

There is a great difference in the quality of bulbs. Even though they are 60W some produce a lot more light than others.

124 headlights
I have a 91 300CE and although the lights work fine and provide plenty of light in the right place on the road, I have always loved the look or the European headlamps. Can anyone tell me of a site where I can find them?

I readjusted my headlights up a bit a few years ago, and it helps some. It's not great, but it's tolerable, and sometimes I use my high-beams when there's no oncoming traffic. With the highbeams on, I don't have many complaints, and actually think that the DOT high beams are better than the Euro-spec lights.
