W126 Mercedes-Benz - Headlamp Adjustment Theory of Operation - RR Headlamp Assembly

[@ronstjohn6780]

Every time I watch your MB videos they give me another project for my W124….

A neighbor of mine had one of these S class mercedes, I think it was an 89, and he never knew where the fog lights were. I pointed them out to him, and he said he thought they were his brights. I had him look at them with the fog light switch on and off. They are actually supposed to give you a wider light pattern so you see the sides of the roadway better in fog and heavy rain or snow. Have a hot cup of tea, some vitamin C and curl up in bed and get better my friend.

Btw, some led conversion bulbs are in warm white and they do look stock with extra brightness and consume about 1/2 the power the halogens consume.

[@ImpalamansGarage]

Are they half the price too? 😁

[@Engineerd3d]

@@ImpalamansGarage i paid about 20$ per pair.

My 123 and 126 both had the Euro headlights when I bought them. Loved the look. If you like the look of those stock headlights but want to improve them a little, you can get the unsealed versions from Hella or Marchal. They'd use either H4 or H7 bulbs. 55/65w low/high is a good combination. If you really wanted some nicer light, go 80/100. You should keep the fog lights a bit lower. They're meant to be low and wide for inclement conditions. Have a hot toddie and feel better Boo Boo.

I need to adjust my headlights on my vw bug also. It on the list.

[@rb.867]

I adjusted them and still couldn’t see so i bought euro glass headlights that look WAY better on the w126 and easy installation.

[@rb.867]

You dont need to remove the lower metal part

[@ImpalamansGarage]

Possibly but it was easier for me.

[@rb.867]

I have a pair of them if your interested
