Yes, I noticed - the difference glass and plastic, that is.

The headlamp lens on the W126 and W124 is glass, but I suspect that on the
99 W210 is plastic. Stupid, in my book, as one should not be tossing
things every 5 years or so, very wasteful.

Noticed front light lenses on friend's '99 E430 yesterday; their're
completely opaque, and he doesn't even know it. Lenses on my 24-year-old
124 and 20-year-old 126, though, are still nice and clear.

Do you have to remove the entire headlight assembly to change the clear
plastic that surrounds the main light, or can you loosen enough to
change
it
in-place? Anyone BTDT?
I want to move the nice looking ploastic from the vergasser to the
Diesel
with the old, checked and cracked plastic, and the reverse as well.
Don't
want to damage the old cracked plastis, as it needs to end up on the
vergasser.
A complcating factor is that the vergasser has headlight wipers, and the
Diesel doesn't. I wonder if the wiring is in place to just swap the
whole
light assembly?
Obligatory beer content - my current favorite is Fuller's London
Porter -
wonderfull brew!
