Euro headlights on a W124 have a single (removable no less) glass
cover over the entire headlamp -- from the parking/turn signal lamp
to the grill. No plastic surround at all, the glass extends from the
trim at the bottom to the hood and from turn signal to grill,
including over the fog lamp.
Wiper pivot is toward the outside, not the inside, and the wiper is
longer so that it will wipe the fog light area as well as the headlamp.
Impossible to mistake one for the other, especially if the DOT
plastic cover over the fog lamp has not been replaced by now, it will
be yellowed, dirty, and usually cracked.

Note that 94 or 95 W124's came with Euro lenses on some models, and
these are highly desirable since the headlight wipers work. Can't use
the DOT headlight wipers on the Euro assemblies, as they are on the
opposite side and rotate the other direction.
So how does one tell the Euro lenses from their DOT counteparts?
On which side are their respective wipers? Which direction do they
rotate?
