Title: US to UK Headlights
Post by: Powerflex on June 08, 2021, 10:56:50

I'm new to 250SL ownership so apologies as I'm sure this topic has been covered many times before, but things change so I wondered the current advice for UK or European  suppliers of headlight units for RHD cars and if there is anything else required such as the bezels.

Many thanks
David

Biggest challenge is finding lenses for RhD units. ColinFerns (stickandrudderman) had some a while back but not sure if he still has.
Other parts are easier to get from Colin, ebay, MB Poole, or the usual suppliers.
The Tech Manual has the procedure to do the swap. Not quite a plug and play but close

Oh, and welcome to the group. Always worth putting details of your car somewhere (signature) so people don’t answer in relation to the “wrong” car (model/age/vin changes)
