Hey you guys from Europe!

[SirNik73]

Hey,
I recently took my 84 Mercedes 300SD on a 2500 mile roadtrip. she drove great. as a gift to the mercedes i was bidding on a set of eurpoean headlights. they are solid and the ones no my car are square sealed beam headlights, very ugly. there are no more on ebay, and they are pretty expencive, and sought after by the mercedes guys over here in the states. i was thinking that in europe these headlight wouldn't be so rare, and it might actuly be more cost effective to just have them sent from europe.

so any of you guys in europe know any good junk yards? the 300 SD is a 126 chassis.

heres a picture of the head light i'm looking for

You need the original squared headlights? Both?

I will check around for you. I know a shop nearby.
I'll keep you posted.

It´s almost impossible to find a Mercedes on a junk yard here in Germany.
But you can get new headlights on ebay Germany for 49,- Euros ( $ 60.- ) a piece.

I'll call around a few yards tomorrow and let you know. I dont recall a 300SD though, I think those are US models only, I'll check.
Is this the model ?

[SirNik73]

yep. the 300SD is a US model only, and yep thats the same car.

That's a classic, you won't find em in junkyards, at least not in Holland. We rarely see them on the road as well these days. They must have already been crushed or bought up by collectors.

beam might be different than here in uk but hubby will look - might need adapting  or someting

[Charger_Croatia]

I'll try to look around but I think there is a difference between European and US models.
Price should be good if I manage to find my previous mechanics.

advantage of Mercedes and all european brands...

European industries have to keep new and quality replacement parts on stock and building while ppl still need them no matter years. Is a mandatory on European Comunity the replacement parts support...

NICE HUH ?

I think some industries around the world have to learn some about... ( not talking about Chrys.... OOOPS sorry )

beams on English model will be incorrect for US, however if you go with German or Frence/Italian you should be fine.
