Should I grab the headlights off a '94 W124?

They are the lens and housing but no back covers at a local junkyard for $24 each. Are they worth holding onto? I do have 3 of those cars but the lights are fine on them.

atikovi, depends on what year the other 124 cars are. The 1994 124 front lamp housings will fit the 1993, 1994 & 1995 models, but earlier models have a different lamp housing and use different lamps. The later model lamp housings definitely provide much brighter lighting.

Lots of takers for the headlight wipers from a 94-95 124. Get the motors, wiper arms and valence panels.

You can upgrade an older car with these lights, but don't you need to upgrade the hood/grill too? -CTH

Not if you don't mind a small space where the upgraded hood goes. I wanted more light and still wanted wipers so that's what I have on my car.

To make it flush, yes. IMO the older style hood with newer headlights w/o any fill panel looks sloppy.
