For some reason I thought Magneti Marelli used to supply the clear corners. If so, these might be them, and someone on eBay also has the other side.


@gsxr can you please tell me where I'm wrong here?

maw

EDIT... so based upon the next post, 0743 and 0843 appear available on eBay from Latvia and Germany right now... less than 1/2 dozen total.

The clears are available from 2-3 different mfr's.

OE clears made by Hella are 124-826-09-43 and 124-826-10-43.

Bosch made OE clears 124-826-07-43 and 124-826-08-43 in the early/mid 1990's.

However, Bosch eventually turned into Automotive Lighting (see below), which was then absorbed by Marelli Group, which turned into Marelli Automotive Lighting (link), which might (incorrectly?) be referred to by some vendors as "Magneti Marelli".

From the link above:

"Marelli Automotive Lighting, previously Automotive Lighting was founded in 1999 as a joint venture of and Robert Bosch. ... 2003: Automotive Lighting becomes 100 % subsidiary of Magneti Marelli ... 2019: Magneti Marelli and Calsonic Kansei unite MARELLI, one of biggest global automotive suppliers is born and Automotive Lighting becomes MARELLI’s lighting division MARELLI Automotive Lighting."

Yeah, that isn't confusing at all.

:yayo:

I bought Marelli's too, but too long ago for my eBay purchase list to still show them. @gsxr just reminded me why.

Now, the ones with the yellow on them are all over the place on eBay. The totally clear ones are rarer. I'm not so clear on the difference though.

I believe I have Hella clear side markers . I purchased them from Speed Autoteile in Germany around 2005 or 2006. They came with yellow bulbs that I replaced with white ones. I thought the yellow bulb looked odd thru the clear lenses.

I will have to check for sure to see if there Hellas. I love the way they look on my 040 Blk car. 😊

I bought the MB full-clears for my 1993 euro model a month ago after seeing this post and they are still available. The dealer asked for my VIN number to confirm match (first time they ask me this since I always give them the part number) and proceeded with the order.

Total was $126 including shipping using www.mercedespartssales.com

These original blinker laps were manufactured by Hella and the date stamp is October 2015.
 
These are the MB original Hella made white blinkers, approx 200 euros for both at the local MB dealership.
