Typical sandblasting from age/use. Unless it’s really bad it doesn’t affect the function. New lenses can be had for relatively little $$ if you troll around on German eBay. -D > On Oct 13, 2019, at 9:43 AM, Donald Snook via Mercedes > wrote: > > I looked at the headlights. There is a

I looked at the headlights. There is a stylized H4 logo in the center. So, I guess that means Hella. The glass looks great. When I looked at the glass inches away I can see tiny little sand pits like on a windshield. But, I had to get right next to them to see it. They look pretty darn good to

This has to be a global sort of mindset. Look on eBay for parts, especially for the older cars. My favorite is trunk tristars for cars like the W110/111 and others - brand new from the dealer for under $50. People selling used ones on eBay for over $100. I just don’t get it. There must be a

It’s also interesting how many people on Facebook don’t realize you can still buy new parts for all old Mercedes. People ask about used parts all the time when new ones are available for similar prices. On Sun, Oct 13, 2019 at 9:17 AM Buggered Benzmail via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com>
