Leave them on or take them off

That is the question.

If it weren't for the dots running along the grill, I'd say leave them. That line of dots makes them look too much like a Honda part.

They look like they'd be nice and bright though. If you like them, leave them on.

I believe DEPO makes some nice ones for the car. IMO they are horrendous.

If you ask me, they do not belong on an elegant W126.

However, Chad has a good point.

Not my taste either. In this case I would remove the wipers.

The wipers go well with the corresponding US or Euro spec lights, not with the aftermarket lights installed.

I think the lights might look better if you had the side markers to go with them and maybe put a light layer of tint so they weren't so "aftermarket-honda" looking. When I swapped out mine for aftermarkets, I made sure to avoid the ultra chrome looking lights. It something about excessive shiny chrome lights that doesn't look right on any of the late 80s to 90s Benz

Leave your hat on but take the wipers off.
