Finding W126 Euro Headlight parts???
Well, I went to put my Euro Headlights in and discovered some bad news. The frame around the two lights is busted, and the reflector around the bulb is shot (see pic's). Does anybody know where I can find parts for these?

light parts
The busted part your pics show is the grill. I have two euro lights that also have broken grills and I have been told they are no longer available. I think you can have the reflectors rechromed.

It is not a good ideal to get the reflectors chromed. Although they would look better. Chrome reflects only about 56 percent of the light. Bright silver about 90 percent in comparison. You might try a mirror restoration or repair shop.

How busted is busted? You might be able to glue them back with heat resistant epoxy or JB weld.

Thanks for the input guys, I had been out of town for a couple days and have not been able to check the forum. I am going out to the guy that works on my car and we are going to check his grave yard and see if we can find something.
The problem with the ring is that a chunk is missing. No worries though, he said if we cannot fix, he will give me my money back which I do not want to do if I can fix the one and be in Bosch euros for under $200.00. That is good news, since I can put that money torwards another set. I will report back after I get back from his place. |
