if not its possible that the cut wire is keeping it from working...which isnt bad...i dont happen to like the sound myself

I thought that it was the seat belt buzzer/warning light but when i plug in my seat belt the seatbelt light up top goes out.

the light will come on regardless, but if the buzzer doenst sound that may be why.

Ya, there is not buzzer and the plastic cover is missing off the seat belt buckle.

Yes, I have the window sticker that came off one of my '87 300D's, the one with leather and yes it was about that as I recall. I am the second owner though

I would like to add that I saw the HID lights Ruben put on his car and they were very bright and fit well. I almost succumbed to buying a set but need the cash for the suspension work I'm planning for it. I already have Euros with Vision+ Sylvania bulbs they are fine for me

What's wrong with metal? If/when the clutch fails, consider a 98-99 E300 clutch and 11-blade plastic fan as a replacement. If engine temp is under control with the metal fan, don't worry about it.

I was thinking about this headlight combo, will it fit on a 300D?

I'm looking at headlights also on ebay, but not this one. I wouldnt worry too much about the quality and DOT approved. Its got to be better then our hazy and cracked lights.
