I decided to install my Depo Euro headlights and new Mercedes grille today, thinking they should be an easy swap. I found two issues, both will involve more parts or modification:
* The electric adjuster motors need to be swapped into the new light, and the white plastic adjuster extension (lacking better word for it at the moment) is about 3/4" too long to fit the Euro lights. Forget this adjuster, or does someone have the necessary shorter motors or an idea how to re-use the originals?
* The DOT lights have a marker and signal bulb, dual filament. The Euro lights are made to have a single filament, just signal. It may take a bit of surgery but I think I can add the third contact and make this a non-issue.
