WANTED Looking for W124 E500 Headlights

[WolfW124]

Looking for set of 94/95 facelift headlights. US or Euro spec.
Also will be interested in buying wiper arms and headlight trim.

 

[gsxr]

I don't have any available and don't have any leads, HOWEVER... a number of forum members have reported being PM'd by scammers. Be very, very careful if someone contacts with you with a set for sale, especially if the person is a new member / few or zero posts, and/or is offering a price too good to be true.

New facelift 036 headlights generally are a few thousand dollars since they went NLA years ago. Wipers and trim will probably be a few hundred bucks, some of those parts are also NLA and are getting difficult to locate used. Good chance of locating wipers/trims in Europe though, as only 94-95 USA wipers will work.

Search the forum for past discussions to get part numbers for all of the above.

 

[WolfW124]

@gsxr thank you so much for your reply! Hopefully might get lucky enough and find someone in US. Found one guy on instagram with nickname “ OLDBENZAMG “ he claims that he can find me a set, I am just trying to figure out if it’s legit source.

You can try these. There is probably more like these and they usually know each other to avoid other scammers to secure as reliable.

@Draginev thank you, I will check them out.

 

[gerryvz]

With patience you will find them -- both US and Euros do come up for sale here on the forum, from legit members/sellers. Ebay is another place, but probably not so fruitful. I'd monitor but largely stay away from Facebook Marketplace, but it's worth keeping track on if something comes up. German eBay may be another place to try.

Recommend you do your diligence, but be ready to jump FAST when they come up, as they do go fast. And not cheap......

 

[WolfW124]

@gerryvz searching eBay every hour or so lol ))) currently talking to someone from Kazakhstan, there is a lot of e500 there, hopefully I can find them soon because I’m planning to do a full conversion mid July, will see how it goes. Thank you for your feedback!

 

[gerryvz]

Be very careful out there that you are dealing with reputable people. Especially overseas.

 

[036]

I might know someone who might have a set of headlights or lenses, not cheap. Location Germany.

I have a used set of 1994 E500 headlights that have been sitting in box in my garage for years. I live in Chicago and might sell if interested.

i dont know. I have to pull them out of storage and take picture. They been there for like 10 years. I originally wanted to do front conversion to E500 and never did it. Not sure what they go for. Maybe someone can chime in. GSXR maybe knows

What’s the rule regarding language on the forum? The repeat posts in another language despite reminders to post in English are getting old very quickly, in my opinion…

I think he's having trouble with online translators, seems the browser (or something) may be auto-translating back after a copy/paste in English, or something along those lines. I believe he's working on rectifying the issue, and has posted in English in one of the other threads.

Found them finally and took some pictures

Dario, what car were those lights removed from? The lenses are for left-hand traffic countries (Japan / UK / Australia). I think the reflectors are RHT but I'm not positive.

I have no idea where I got them from. I know I bought them from someone in Europe right after i got my 500E in 2015. So they have been in those boxes since 2015 in garage. How do i know if reflectors are RHD and lenses LHD?

Brief Aside:

. You just made my day @Dario. Now my own Parts : Garage Space ratio doesn't quite seem so unreasonable.

Ah, got it. The donor car must resided in a LHT country at some point in the past and had the lenses swapped.

LHT (note, LHT is RHD and vice-versa) lenses have opposite fluting on the glass ahead of the H4/main bulb. Details and photos are in this post.

There's no way to tell from looking at the front of the reflectors, but the label on the back of the reflector will have numbers that indicate LHT vs RHT. Unfortunately I don't have a comprehensive list of those numbers to confirm, but I think you have RHT reflectors.
