1990 W126 300SE - 50 shades of blue
Hello everyone,

I'm Oscar and I have a 1990 W126 300se. I'm here for general advice/parts knowledge as I've got an MOT booked for my car so I need to get it ready.

At the moment I'm looking to find out what sidelight bulbs I need, or am I missing bulb holders too? I bought replacement headlights and made the mistake of binning the old ones before I checked I had everything.

I'll attach a photo of my car and the back side of the sidelight hole in the headlight.

Thanks! 20230816_201034.jpg 20240302_111540.jpg

Welcome Oscar. There is a lot of affection for the W126 on here.

Thank you, that's good to hear - I have always loved them, bought one on impulse in 2022, since spent an obscene amount of money on it especially as it was rotten as a pear. There's just something about it, the sheer size of it, comfort, refinement and ease of drive... i love it to bits!

Such a lovely car. Graceful, stately and refined. A word for the wise - 'NBOB' :) - Never Bin Old Bits! Even if they don't work - you never know when you'll need to make reference to them again..
