Ok, well I've had some new reflectors for about errm.. 10 months So finally got round to swapping them into some spare housings ready to go on the car!

The difference is immense, so hopefully it'll do some good to being actually able to see at night with dipped beam!

Old Headlight:


Old Reflector:


New Reflectors:


Inside the headlight and cleaned glass:

looking good! Are these reflectors still available at the dealer? can you give an indication on the price?

Errm... no idea actually, I swapped them for some parts with foggy... not sure how he got them initially.

I don't remember where they came from...

Looking good

cheers

Very good idea Steve, you will see the eeenormous difference, headlights with new reflectors are great.

After 20 years, I really recommand to everyone to clean the reflectors / the glass inside OR to change them if they are too damaged. I've pictures too to upload cause I did it on my 300s

One problem Steve, did you just use the old clips and joint? You WILL have dampness problems inside... 200% sure! (damp in the corners of the glass inside...)

Hmm.. I did wonder if moisture could get in - the seal and clips are the old ones. However, the seal looks good? I don't know - any other ideas? I'd prefer not to seal them completely...
