How to get the correct Euro lenses?

Hi.

I have an issue with the lenses on my 500e,-93
Just get the car from England to Sweden.
I contact the local Mb dealer to get lenses to Euro lights.
Sadly I got wrong lenses, I got the “older” models.
How could I get the right one?

I think it will be this nr I should have, can someone confirm?

Hi from the UK!

If the headlamps on the 500e you have are genuine UK (I.e. left dipping) then once you have found some Euro lamps for your car, I would be interested in buying the UK lens from you.

In fact, I think to change from UK to Euro lamps you need to change the reflectors too, and I would be interested in buying these too.

PM me if you would like to sell them.

Does your 93 model have the newer 94 hood on it?

Re: How to get the rift lenses?

When I changed my Bornite 500 headlights from RHD to LHD, like you mentioned, I also changed the reflectors. The old RHD lenses were sold, but I still have the RHD reflectors. Haven't bothered to write up an ad yet, so I still have them. Zip me a PM and we can do a deal on the reflectors.

Re: How to get the rift lenses?

Probably need to also check if the car was an original UK import, or if it came from somewhere else... could have correct lamps/reflectors, but wrong lenses. Need to check everything to confirm.

Re: How to get the rift lenses?

Hi,

Thanks for all respons.
The car is a Japan import.... bought the car in London.
Will this be a problem for the lenses and reflectors?
To day I found a complete set of lamps from a 300e, -96.
I haven’t bought this yet, but I have the number of the lamp “shell”,
if that’s the right description?
The lamp-hous is maby a better word?
All the numbers seem to be the same, but just on the reflector I can’t se.
This car is a late -93, so yes, it has the newer hood,
the lenses are like the one in the thread from gxhr.
How should I do?
 
Berglund, it depends what exact headlamps are in the car currently. Assuming they are original from Japan (which has left-hand traffic, same as UK), both the lenses and reflector would be incorrect for right-hand traffic.

Based on the EPC, the Hella reflector for right-hand traffic is the same for all 124 Hella lamps... but the lens is still 036-specific. Since you have the late / facelift hood, your part numbers are correct for the lenses:
124-820-58-66 right
124-820-57-66 left
