Last year i had to buy a NEW$$$ right headlight for my SDL after the nighttime pheasant attack. After theat, the right headlight is noticeably brighter than the left. Moral of the story: even glass headlights loose effectiveness over 18-20 years.
The fix: Cathey's original statement. Only dollar bills applied generously, can clear the headlights.

There are any number of polishing compounds, including McGuire's, rouge, toothpaste, etc. But the usual problem(s) with headlights are that either 1) the plastic is getting rather pitted with rock bites, in which case the pits are relatively deep and you're talking about removing a measurable amount of material, or 2) it's getting discolored, in which case no amount of polishing will do anything, it's a change in the bulk material. If they're glass #2 doesn't apply, but #1 sure does! The switch at the front of cars away from hard chrome and (hard) inexpensive replaceable glass to modular plastic profit centers was pure evil! -- Jim _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
