MicroMachinery Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 If you know anybody that speaks German, you can go on the German eBay and get a set of Bosch's. Otherwise, you can make your own. Quote Link to comment

skunk Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 i made mine using glass paint from the craft store, just keep the coats light the paint will dim your lights abit Quote Link to comment
denveratsun Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 A lot of mid-80s Mercedes had yellow inner lights. I ran a set from one and they only require wire ends being put on the Bosch headlights. Additional wiring will be required if you want something other than yellow high beams :rolleyes: I would look at your local JY for an old Mecedes and pull the lights. :cool: I have seen painted sets turn out great and I have seen them look really bad...paint with caution.

greybeard Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 The Mercedes ambers are fog lights, if you use them, you will be cutting you light output. If you want the amber headlights and want to be able to see, what you're looking for is French market headlights. Hella and Cibie both made a full line of headlights and driving lights in amber as well as fogs. look here, http://euromcars.com/parts/e28m5/lights/04-22-09/hyehl1.htm The french Market used all amber lighting untill the EU was formed as far as I know Quote Link to comment

MicroMachinery Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 The wagon I just got has glass rectangle yellow "fog" lights. One of the lenses are shattered.. :( Anyone know where I can pick up another one of these? Quote Link to comment
ariascarlos1990 Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 I suggest using the vinyl tint I did mine in it. never fades cracks or chips and its way brighter. Before: After: Quote Link to comment

79D50 Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 Mine are vinyl yellow tint done at my local Custom Speed Shop. They look great and are very bright. Only cost $20 and my wiring stayed the same. Quote Link to comment
Gensaiken Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 is there much of a point to this mod? Or is it just the look? :blink: Quote Link to comment
greybeard Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 it's for the look. amber light is said to cut the fog better, but a fog lamp pattern is cut off very low so the light is not reflected back into the drivers eyes. That is why fog lamps are supposed to be wired to come on only with the low beams. I have nothing against the look, but I want the the most light I can get to see at night. my set up is Hella H4 low beams, and Hella H1 hi beams, 55/65w in the lows, and IIRC 65w bulbs in the lows. with a relay set up higher watt bulbs would give more light. This is the same lights as in the link above, only clear lenses, not yellow. Quote Link to comment
phidius Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 i found a special order bulb through a guy i know that works at napa auto parts here in oregon. part# lmp4412A hope that helps. Quote Link to comment
