Hi all
Still thoroughly enjoying Simon's old car and thought I'd post a few updates I've had carried out since purchase.
The original headlights had become home to some insects and whilst I was able to remove them (very fiddly), the chrome inside had started to fade/peel in places plus one of the indicator mounts' legs had broken. The exterior of both units had also started to cloud (slightly) and whilst I have experience of refurbishing these, they are never as good as new.
So...
I decided to get them replaced with new MB units to include the ballast, ignitors etc. entrusting the job to Mike and the guys @ MB of Medway (bumper has to come off for this). Also sold the old units to recoup some of the cost.
I think they make a huge difference to the look of the car and hopefully won't need replacing again... Headlights - old/new
