Replacement headlamp reflectors

[jay-h-e500]

Hi all,

While in isolation lockdown here in Spain have been doing a few jobs on my E500 .

One was to take the headlights and take them apart to clean them up.

When having them dissembled the drivers side reflectors are corroded an in need of replacing.

Is there new replacement reflectors to buy as the rest of the headlamp is in good condition .

The headlamp is a Hella unit.


Thanks
James

Part numbers in screenshot below assuming you need RHT reflectors. I don't know if they are available from MB but you may be able to locate aftermarket equivalents.

WANTED - High Beam Reflectors | Wanted to Buy

Hi, I'm looking for a set of high beam reflectors to do a conversion to European headlights

www.500eboard.co

What is required to convert ‘stock’ W124 headlamps to E500E spec | Electrical, CAN and Wiring

I am thinking of DE-facelifting my 500E. Given that the complete euro LH traffic E500E headlamp assemblies from MB are now NLA I have a question: My cars need headlamps for LH Traffic / UK. So if I have a pair of good original LH traffic ‘stock’ w124 headlamps all I need to do is swap in...

I would try to pursue having your existing reflectors professionally re-coated.

Here is a company in the US that does this: Steve's Auto Restorations | Headlight Resilvering

I am sure there are companies in Europe/Germany that do the same.

Perfect! When I traded my NOS E500 lenses for NOS 500E lenses wit northNH last week packing tape got caught on the inside of one lens and removing it took off the silver coating


So this company link is super helpful Gerry!

Ooops! Can you post a photo of this? I'm curious what it looks like...

That’s rubbing it in, Dave

Could kick myself for not having been more careful when unpacking
