PS Looking for some stacked w108/w109 headlight wipers for a customer, anybody know, got, might, can, want to cash in, donate? Ha Ha, on the old German auto jewellery, message me cash waiting.

The Stacked headlight, I use to like more than the euro Cathedrals types, early curved and the later flats, but after seeing a black 1971 Mercedes fitted with the euro cathedral flats, style, I so much so loved it’s clean and simple look so much more, looks better on colour codes G180 and G80, look so 600 and so much more proportional and no fuse simple status, I have no doubt that the black and silver cars look so much better, other colours seen to favour the stacks.
Basically a clean mean 6.3 executive curb crawler,
providing the straight no fuss down to business look, instead of the over the top now four headlights two spot lights Mexican hat headlight U.S – OTT headlight set.

Is anyone familiar with the W108 or W109 Headlight Flasher that works by pulling the turn signal arm back toward the driver? I have a NOS turn signal arm with a high-beam headlight and a washer function with everything working properly except the headlight flasher. I was told the Hazard Flasher also worked the turn signal flashers and the headlight flasher but both the hazard flasher and the turn signals work fine. Is there a separate relay for the headlight flasher or is that function built into the stalk?

Thanks for sharing
Mine is a 1970 W108 280 S, I bought it just few weeks ago.
It cames with the stacked ones. Originally the car came for South American market (Paraguay)
I wonder if those are the correct ones for the year and market
Thanks

In reply to Raj. I've seen these on ebay and facebook marketplace. I'm normally looking for RHD copies, the LHD lights are easier to find, depending on what you need.

Thanks for sharing! I am currently working on a w111 and w108. Any recommendations on good websites for headlights and parts?

In reply to Saman Behnam. I wonder where that came from. The round style is earlier, flat is later. The correct lights for your car are flat.

I was always wondering why my -111 coupe 1970 has the flat style euro lights. I was told the flat style was used in Sweden and Netherland and German style was round.
