Thanks for that observation. Maybe grinding the bulb holder is the better approach. That would keep it oriented properly. The socket connector is oriented a certain way so that is an indication of how it should go. Dremel time tomorrow... --R Sent from iPhone > On Jun 16, 2018, at 8:12 PM,

White lithium grease quickly turns to the rock for which it is named. It should join the pantheon of frequently mis-applied and thus ultimately harmful yet inexplicably popular products, alongside Armor-all and WD40. (All of which probably have their place.) I generally use ATF on motor bearings.

IMHO, plain bulbs are superior. None of this blue crap 'upgrade'. The bulbs and holders are keyed, so that the light originates from exactly the right place within the reflector. With two filaments to consider, the geometry really _is_ that tight. I would not butcher the headlamps, I'd grind a

This is weird.  I ordered some new bulb socket connectors, supposedly ceramic, for the SEC since both of the old ones had melted.  Got those soldered on no problem. Go to put the bulbs back in the headlamp housing and they won't go in right.   I'm sure they were in there OK when I took them

That's strange. I think there is a disc with small orifice at the gauge end of the oil tube that is supposed to dampen the oil pulses. Any work done to the instrument cluster lately? -- Max Dillon Charleston SC '87 300TD '95 E300 On June 16, 2018 1:07:29 PM EDT, Rdeafboy via Mercedes
