"The Place for all 190 Enthusiasts"
EURO HEADLIGHT CONVERSION
The following instructions were made possible by Ian. Thank you for your contribution! The Before and After! Before I show you how it was done, here's a before and after view. As you can see, they make quite a difference in the looks department. What you can't see, is the phenominal increase in lighting. If you're familiar with the W201 chassis (especially the early years) you know the terrible lighting that they were outfitted with. These lights are outfitted with 90/100 watt bulbs and 80 watt fog light bulbs. They'll burn holes in your retinas if you look at 'em directly ;-)

Once you've gotten that out of the way you can remove the three retaining bolts for the assembly. Two are on the top right above the light assembly (mounted in black hex-shaped plastic plugs) and the third is on the bottom of the assembly. The easiest was to gain access to this is if you reach behind the spoiler/bumper from the wheelwell area.
