Re: 126 Headlights

No... that's not Bosch and is not worth that kind of money. Most of those
set are worth less than $200 a pair. Their light output really sux compared
to Bosch.

Just by changing to Bosch Euro is a major improvement over stock headlight
and already 10 years improvement to the look of the car. A 1981 car would
look like a 1991 car.

I bought a set of Depo headlight for a friend... glass lens... the output is
not as great as my Bosch unit. I should have given him the Bosch when I sold
my car.

Same thing on my 124... Stock was chipped and bad looking... I bought a set
of Depo and was very disappointed in light output... seems worse than stock.
Light output seems to be scattered... not as focused.

The story is this... buy only Bosch Euro light.. they are worth every penny.
Upgrade to HID unit if available for your body style.
