Need '95 E320 Headlight lens
Caught a big,fat rock in my passenger side headlight. It cracked the lens. Does anyone have a used one? W124, '94 - '95 E320 wagon has a one piece lens for the headlight and the fog light. Same as for the other body styles.

Problem is that MB decided to quit supplying the lens only - now they want to sell you the whole assembly. The last ones I found was from someone on benzworld.com; search ebay and keep asking in the forums. You'll come across a set.

94/95 124 chassis had a Factory TSB on headlamp lens mount modification.
These were Benz first DOT Euro style H4 for 124 chassis and guys were popping the lens off [ they just snap clip into the housings] and putting in the Euro lens only. DOT jumped in, so US dealers got the TSB from Benz to glue the lens snap clip mounts so they could no longer be serviced or be swapped.. So, you may want to see if yours did not see the TSB...most didn't, but some did. I swapped out to Euro lens, but the DOT/US are just about as good ..the crap ones were 124 chassis pre face-lift 94/95... Got mine at Capitol............... I have the original set of DOT , but they are road rashed out enough that they are no longer inspection passable and I would not sell them [ or even give them away] for that reason.

Yesterday I bought a used lens and installed it today. It wasn't all that easy: The book says: Snap out - snap in. But this lens was fastened with one screw in the upper L.H. corner and the head of the screw was sealed with epoxy. But first I had to remove the sidelight and the lens of the sidelight was loose. I am using J-B Weld to glue the lens back on and hope it holds. The housing is ABS, the lens acrylic.
What is the difference between the euro lens and the DOT lens? Can't be the light output, must be the light pattern. On my lil' red car with euro headlights, the low beam is angled up on the right side. It is to light up the right side of the road where pedestrians may be lurking.

94/95 DOT 124 headlamp use Euro pattern optical cut-off.
That why I mentioned there is little difference and not worth the Euro swap as with earlier chassis. Last edited by Arthur Dalton; 12-10-2007 at 10:49 AM.
