BOSCH R107 European Headlamps

Upgrade your classic SL with these Genuine Bosch European Headlamps for the Mercedes-Benz R107, one of the most desirable exterior enhancements for this iconic roadster.

Manufactured by Bosch, the original OEM lighting supplier for Mercedes-Benz, these European-spec headlights deliver superior light output, authentic factory styling, and period-correct originality.

Designed specifically for the legendary Mercedes-Benz R107, Euro headlamps replace the larger US-spec sealed beam units with sleek glass assemblies featuring integrated city lights and proper European beam patterns.

Why Upgrade to European-Spec Headlamps?

US-market R107 models were fitted with larger, protruding sealed beam headlights due to federal regulations. European models, however, received elegant one-piece glass headlamp units that better complement the SL’s clean front-end design.

Switching to Bosch Euro headlights provides:

• Cleaner, flush front-end appearance

• Improved nighttime visibility

• Authentic European factory styling

• Higher collector appeal

• Period-correct restoration accuracy

For many enthusiasts, Euro headlights are one of the most impactful visual upgrades for the R107.
