So they are definitely for UK left-hand traffic? Sorry to ask for clarification, but they seem ridiculously cheap?
Yes they are, I suspect there is not much demand for the RHD market other than perhaps the UK and Japan. Btw they’ve been on the shelf for a very long time I think, I had to do a fair amount of cleaning inside before they could be installed.
Yes, the fluting on the lens is for LHT, and they are correct for 036 in UK/Japan/Australia. Remember that the reflectors also need to be LHT to match the lens...
LHT lights/lenses have always been drastically lower in price/value due to a fraction of the demand compared to RHT. Price does seem reasonable.
The price of these is more than reasonable, these certainly won’t be around forever so UK/Japan/RHD country owners should snap these up. I should buy a spare set
I've just done that! I'm led to believe it could be the sale of old OE items, from a warehouse that is being closed down?The price of these is more than reasonable, these certainly won’t be around forever so UK/Japan/RHD country owners should snap these up. I should buy a spare set
Nope, they are OEM, per the Hella packaging. However the lenses are identical to OE, the only difference is they won't have the Mercedes part number label with MB Star logo. Totally irrelevant in this case, the only difference is a missing label.
