Hello everybody. I'm looking to buy/rent the headlight ventilation pipe to replicate/reproduce it. If anyone allow me to rent it I offer you headlight restoration of yours - perfect headlights with restored chrome (like new)/ chroming the bezels and sanding and polishing the glass from the stone chips. If you are close to Bad Iburg area in Germany I can offer windshield polishing to remove the wiper marks from the windshield.

Well I couldn't find any venting pipe, but I found similar color 3D printing material and the project will move on and when the color is similar to the original I got an idea for another project. You probably know it's little risky to remove the lens as on older headlights the clip holding it might brake I'll be making repair kit clips for W124 headlights.

@simeon40, which ones would fit the Automotive Lighting headlights (AL took over the product from Hella Bosch/Magneti Marelli)?

I believe Automotive Lighting is related to Magneti Marelli and Bosch Lighting (the relationship is confusing).

AFAIK, Hella is still completely separate from AL/MM/Bosch.

:124:
 
Automotive Lighting was originally a "joint venture" collaboration of MM and Bosch -- it is a separate company. It's owned 100% now by Magneti Marelli, though.
 
If the AL headlights is actually the BOSCH ones then I should have a pair for them as well. Let's continue our conversation in Kleinanzeigen
