Euro W126 & US W126

[Mercv8]

Was their a difference in shape to the European W126 and USA version? I wanna get some headlights from the US, and the chap says they fit the US version perfectly.

So would it be right to assume it will fit my UK W126 ok?

North American Cars has different front and rear bumpers and different headlamps and headlamp wipers, they will fit but they are ugly.

Euro bumpers and lights carry a premium in the US as they are much more aesthetically pleasing.

US bumpers and lights, see here:-

Yeh i know their headlights are ugly mate, but it was these lights i fancied fitting.

I like the fact they are clear, as i have HID light setup.

they will fit, but the aim is wrong as you know...

Aren't the U.S. headlamps sealed beam units?

I can see where your getting at but I would be carefull that these lights sets are not for left hand drive models because if they are they would fail a MOT here in the UK due to the beam being wrong.

Heres how they might look installed on a car with the matching clear corners:

Good point gurps. I think they look pretty good.

I will ask them if they are left hand drive specific. I thought it may be possible to set them yourself?
