Re: [MBZ] Today with the W126

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

Thanks!

I got the clear corner lights from a buddy on Benzworld.  They’re Depo brand 
from Europe. I use the “bronze” bulbs in them so they show yellow for both 
running and turn signals but appear as clear bulbs when off so you don’t get 
the “egg yoke” look you would otherwise have with yellow bulbs.

I’m not 100% with the clear corners, but my stock yellow corners were pretty 
beat up and I wanted to replace them.  When I was offered a set of new clear 
corners for $25 I decided I could live with them for now.

Looks great!  Thanks for that Ebay link as well, I need a new lens for my
124 wagon driver's side.

Did your 126 come with the clear corner/signal lights, or did you purchase
those somewhere recently?  I like that look much better than the yellow
signals.

Since I can never seem to get my pictures to not get stripped by the

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

Big difference, eh?

Not bad for $16 a side.  Well, really more like $30 if you factor in shipping.

He’s got a couple left if anyone needs them:

Good seller - got right back with me, shipped the next day, packed everything 
very well.  Took about 10 days to get here via DHL/USPS.

[MBZ] Today with the W126

Installed my brand new Bosch headlight lenses on my Euro headlights.  Nice.  No

Cost me less than $70 for the set from a German eBay seller.  Lenses were
