GROUP BUY: 500E "Euro" Headlight Lenses

[kennyjr748]

Lenses came in today in perfect shape. Thank you Gerry!

Glad to hear it. Everyone should have received their lenses and/or boots by now, so this GROUP BUY should now be a wrap.

Yesterday I confirmed my trip to Munich for November, so I will be posting a separate thread for this small lens/boot GROUP BUY. I will ONLY bring home TWO pairs of lenses -- no exceptions. Mirror boots will be unlimited pairs. Prices should be as I quoted before ... around $140-145 shipped per boot. This cost is $100 less than the DISCOUNTED cost for said boots in the US, and less than one-half of the MB list price per boot (currently over $330 per).

Cheers,
Gerry

Thanks again and next time you're in town dinner, beers and cigars are on me.

Hope you got your headlight & lens home OK Klink. Thanks for saving me the shipping and all that.

And thanks for the BBQ dinner. Hopefully you enjoyed the mini-tour of the Honcho shop. You were geekin' pretty hard on the G-wagen

Yep! That's my favorite era and configuration of G-wagen. Had a short but great time at Hacienda Honcho!

Hope to do another session at Greater Trump's if possible. Unfortunately I won't be visiting Portland this year at Christmas, as my mom is coming to visit us here in Texas from Seattle.

Cheers,
Gerry

Well, I did sort of get a "woody" when I saw the G63 and the G550 in the showroom of MB of the Woodlands with you !!!

Gerry,

I had no idea the mirror boots were so expensive!!!! I apparently bought my last set for my 92 when they were at a "discounted" rate (one month only.) Put me down for a pair on your Munich trip, hope all is well.

Regards,
Chris

My wife and I are also buying a place up in Port Ludlow, WA so if you're going to be in Seattle anytime let me know.

Those actually didn't suck, either, I must admit.

Sheeeeit....you're biased

 

[Klink]

Yeah, like THAT'S going to happen...

My lenses came in today, but I haven't been home to open them. Thanks again Gerry! I need to get you that extra $50 already. Cheers.

I know this topic is closed but perhaps someone can answer a question. Am determined to put Euro-spec 500E headlamps in my Euro C124 300CE-24 SportLine. It already has Euro headlamps. To effect conversion, do I need L and R lenses plus the headlight housings (L an R) or just the reflectors?

 

[gerryvz]

You will definitely need the lenses. I think for the reflectors, you have to modify the pedestrian W124 Euro lens. Also you have to change/convert the "fog lamp" inboard lamp to become a "pencil beam" driving lamp per the 500E.

Also, the 500E lamps have a special reflective surround around the interior of the housing, that the pedestrian W124 lamps don't have.

 

[AMG5PT4]

If someone has done this (converted pedestrian W124 Euro headlights to E500E headlights, please post (preferably with pictures), including the modification to the inboard "fog light" to a E500E pencil beam.
