Whether you are darting in and out of traffic in your economical A-series or cruising in style in your S500, the pop eye look is definitely not in style. Scratched and dented sheet metal is annoying enough but damaged headlights and headlight malfunctions can lead to safety issues and possibly traffic citations. So, if you are braving the night with only one headlight, here is some good news: Pro Auto USA can help you find used Mercedes Benz headlights using their extensive, nation wide network of reputable Mercedes Benz salvage professionals.

Headlight Bulbs
That ain’t your granddaddy’s old headlight. Mercedes automobiles are equipped with very technologically advanced headlight assemblies. Headlight capsule (or lens) assemblies are visible from outside the vehicle but the actual headlight bulb (or bulbs) is plugged into the headlight capsule from the rear. The headlight bulb is serviceable independent of the headlight assembly and will fail at regular intervals and under normal operating conditions. Bulb replacement is manageable (note: fingerprints on the surface of these bulbs have been known to cause failure so use caution when installing not to touch the glass surface of the replacement bulb) and relatively inexpensive compared to headlight lens assembly replacement (but not cheap by any means). Bulb configurations vary depending on make and model and range from Halogen capsule varieties to HID or Xenon type bulbs. Bulbs will burn out over time and bulb replacement is recommended in pairs. The lens, or capsule assembly is, however, another story.

Headlight Lens/Capsule Assembly
There are several reasons to replace your vehicle’s headlight lens assembly. The most common of these reasons is collision related damage. Cracked and broken lenses allow moisture to reach high temp headlight bulbs. The result of this is immediate bulb failure. With headlight bulbs costing from $25-$60 each this can get ugly quickly. Other collision related damage includes broken mounting assemblies and/or adjustment brackets. When adjusters and mounts are broken proper headlight alignment and stability become impossible. Either of these scenarios require headlight lens replacement. Discolored, scratched, or cloudy lenses are also a problem. Your Mercedes Benz headlight lenses are sensitive to chemical distortion. Damage to the surface of your headlight lens will result if abrasive or harsh chemicals are used to clean or maintain headlights. The unfortunate fact of the matter is this: broken or discolored lenses must be replaced. Factory replacement lenses available through your Mercedes Benz dealer are incredibly expensive and seldom kept in inventory. The bottom line is this; you will wait too long for a part that you are paying way too much for. The alternative to paying swank dealership mark up prices is to purchase the same part used. The part was manufactured in the same factory under the same guidelines and may be bought for significantly less money. If you know where to look.
