W123 headlight doors NLA?

It seems one more part is becoming harder to get for W123s these days. Headlight doors/bezels are only available from Uro? Bosch gone? Not even Genuine MB?

There's a guy on eBay selling what he claims to be the "last" Genuine left door for $600

Anyone have any experience with these Uro doors? I generally go to extreme lengths to keep Uro parts as far way from my car as possible but seems we're SOL on this one unless we go Euro.

If you are able to find a good source let me know; especially the left side. I've been looking for the longest time!!!

Left side headlight doors are NLA from anyone. Right side are available from Mercedes and Bosch. The Bosch brand no longer has "Bosch" imprinted in the bottom middle of the door but it is genuine Bosch. I have never seen the URO brand of headlight door. I have an NOS right genuine Bosch door if anyone is interested.

Correction - right side is still available as Bosch/Genuine MB. Left side is NLA

Uro brand seems to be available for both sides (~$55 ea from Pelican). Has anyone bought a set of W123 US spec headlight doors from Uro?

$600 for a Door? That is more than some of these cars are worth. LOL

Keep poking around on E-Bay and CL, some times you get lucky.
There was a guy on CL that had two new one`s for $95 for the pair.
Don`t see them anymore.

Even PNP can be a source, found a set of almost new one`s 50% off for $7 ea.

I might use URO`s if......
