e-code question for 1985 240.

I just checked Wagner and Gunther in Germany, and the price is 149 euro per side for original euro lights. I assume it's euro, anyway.

Looks like about $395 USD + shipping for both sides, but maybe there is an international discount on the tax to offset the cost.

Any other ideas?

FCP double checked and says the 86-93 will fit my 85. Sorry for the multi-posts. $300 for the complete kit, molding, bulbs and turn assembly. Now I need to order my wiring kit from Daniel Stern. I guess he's still in business.

No it won't, not unless you replace the fenders and grill with those from an '86+. The sheetmetal is different, '86 got the facelift. The single piece e-codes for '85 and earlier are hard to find because Europe got the facelift in '81 so the lights for the US style '85 were only used for I think 2 years over there.

Another option is to get the e-code retrofits that go in the quad rectangular openings, I have some on my 242 and while they look just like the stock DOT lamps, they sure work a lot better.

Darn.

Do you think I can order something stock from Germany and have it fit?

Final answer from W&G is:

Shipping US around 50,-Euro

by money transfer via IBAN bank nr.

$793.26 USD - more than I paid for the car. LOL

(I might do it...hmmmmmm)

Dang, the exchange rate must have gotten horrible, when I was looking at those it was gonna be more like $400, now I wish I'd bought a set.
