Anybody know if there are any differences among standard 94/95 W124 US spec headlamps, <93 500E Euro spec headlamps and 94/95 Euro spec E500 headlamps? I'm particularly curious whether 94/95 E500 headlamps have driving lamps instead of fog lamps.
Anyone with part numbers? Thanks for all responses. (cross posted in Performance Paddock.)

500e/e500 lights
all of the w124 500's have a driving light in the headlight assembly vs 300/400's with a fog light.
i think there was a recent post w the part mumbers. try a "search" on euro lights and maybe try 500e euro lights also. there is a ton of info here. i just read your other post, i am using 80/100 watt bulbs and have not [knock on wood] had any problem with them. welcome to mercedeshop, you'll never be the same...

I already did. I just wanted to make sure that I get the correct lamps.
Although I get a fairly decent discount from the dealer (roughly 35% for parts installed at the dealership, 25% for parts purchased outright--long story) it's still rather costly (if i get the wrong part). The problem is, they 500E/E500 never made it to our shores so they are not intimately familiar with the parts. There are at most 3 examples of the 500Es here. They have standard 94/95 Euro lamps on inventory but aren't sure whether they are the same as the ones for the E500. I don't want to lose the driving lamp option. It wasn't too clear on the post whether these Euro lamps are 94/95 E500 specific. Thanks!

If anybody is interested, I have a single 80/100 watt H4 bulb to give away. Its blue tinted, Eurolite Xenon Crystal by Toucan Industries. I blew the other one and am using a much less blue bulb now, so if someone could use a spare, I'm willing to send it anywhere free of charge.
