If all was doing was freeway or autobahn driving, I'd keep the 85 with
its lower rpm at speed. However my trip to work is over a mountain range
at a 50 mph speed limit and it's just not happy. Now take it up to 90
mph and it's very happy.

Even with the lower rpm at speed, it still should be happy. I would
check to make sure you are getting proper boost. The overboost valve
could be plugged up.

So drive it in 3rd gear. Go on, it really won't hurt it. :) I drive mine in

No, you only have to purchase the correct connectors. The NA-spec lights use
a four-pin connector, but the euro lights want a six-pin connector (plug).
However, the lights will work fine using your existing harness. You just
have to swap the connectors and reconfigure the layout of the pins
Hello all,
I have two 300SDs, an 85 with Euro headlights and an 84 with N/A lights.
I'm selling the 85 and was wanting to swap the Euro lights over to the
84. Started the process to discover the lights themselves swap easily,
but the wiring harness is different.
Anyone know how difficult
All you'll need to do, provided of course that you have the correct
connector on the 85, is to do a side-by-side swap.
I may be wrong, but it should be very straightforward...as you can see
in the photos, the connectors(harness) come apart easily and you move
the wires to the correct spaces.
Thanks for the response, Jeff.
What's confusing me is that the N/A system has four wires, while the
Euro has six.

Just curious, why are you keeping the 84 and selling the 85? 85 was the
last and best year of those.
