R129 SL Headlight Glass

[rockits]

I'm going through all the little bits now that I'm not happy with on the SL readying it for sale spring/summer.


I've got a small chip in the drivers headlight glass and another in the left indicator. I've ordered a replacement indicator and have changed them before so all good there.

Never changed a headlight lens/glass. It is about 120 for the part and is for the Xenon headlight so good for my car that has Xenon's

Before I order it has anyone done a repair or used a repairer that can repair it as good as new? Or is it not possibly and a replacement lens would be better?

Thanks Doodle - yes I've seen these - but they are for '98 -01 model cars. (Mine is '94). I've also spoken to the supplier and he can't help for the earlier model. , I've found a German supplier- but the glass is for LH drive cars - so the beam is different.

The information they're giving is conflicting. The part number they quote in the description (A1298201166) is listed in WIS against 129.067 chassis numbers, but it's also for the glass rather than a complete unit. The Magneti Marelli reference they've quoted concurs with this.

The rear housing in their pictures looks like it's for a car with ADS (no levelling in the unit), but the glass should be the same regardless.
