Bosch 500E headlight lens???!

[aliking]

Hello all, today i saw a strange set of bosch headlight lens set, its like the 500E shiny chrome lens frame, anyone seen a set like this before? Thanks.

Bosch never made any E500E lenses, only Hella made them for the 036.

While the chrome frame is similar to 036, the glass is completely different. I think the photos you posted are of lenses that may have been unique to the A124 cabriolet?

I agree - and also noted somone posting non 036 glass in Chrome bezles for sale recently.

You can split the glass and chrome frame and stick them back together with glue FYI. So I think most of these non 036 glass chrome lenses have been made up by sellers from smashed 500E bezles.

That's my theory anyway. For avoidance of doubt, always check the brand and part numbers stamped on the GLASS itself. This will tell you for sure if you have 036 glass and also what traffic version it is. Don't just go by chrome bezles and someone's word on it!
