201 Chassis
1984 to 1993 Models 190E, 190D
Recognition:
The 201 chassis went through two front headlight changes. From 1984 to 1986 the U.S. version had rectangular sealed beam headlights surrounded by a headlight door with a yellow fog light lens cover. From 1987 to 1993 the headlight (as shown above) looked very similar to the 124 headlight with the fog light lens cover being clear plastic.
