The silver on glass lenses gets dull, worn, hazy or whatever you want
to call it. After the kamikaze pheasant took out the headlight on my
SDL, I had to buy a new light form Rusty. It was noticeably brighter
on the road, than its 25 year old counterpart...same bulbs.
Thus the existance of the "resilvering" businesses
The Bosch lenses are glass. I wonder why they would get "hazy". I doubt
that the lenses could be replaced very cheaply.

There was another supplier to MB other than Bosch, I can't remember the name
at
the moment, but they are very similar in quality but less cost. Someone
once
told me that their lenses were lower quality and tended to get hazy faster.
My
'87 wagon came with one Bosch and one of the other make, the Bosch light was
really trashed and the other make actually worked much better.
Also, make sure the lights aren't made for British roads, I once purchased a
very cheap pair of Euro lights only to find that the pattern was for
right-hand
drive cars.
Very respectfully,

The lenses we sell only fit Bosch OEM units.
I don't get it... isn't that what the ones in the auction are, if they
are pulls from a Euro car? Was there more than one OEM?
