i have a '01 c240 with the stock frosted lens on the headlight. i came across this on ebay

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Merce...=p4506.c0.m245

i was wondering if changing to a clear lens would affect the light visibility or pattern? ive done a little reading on here but still not sure if this would be a smart move or not. thanks.

 

Yes it will. On non projector type headlamps, the Fresnel type lens is part of the lamp focusing system. If you look at the new 2005? onward face lift clear lens lights they have very different reflector designs than the "frosted" lights. How big the difference is I'm unable to say but I would expect some strange light scatter.

 

I'd be more worried about the covers not fitting properly, and water getting into your headlights like a cheap GM.

 

what about changing the leans on OEM Bix? mines has Small Rock chips. anyone know?

 

It actually fits perfectly

 

Don't dealers sell it if part # provided?

 

do they really fit perfect?........... i was thinking of geting these to replace my bix lens. my lens are not that bad i will try the headlight restoration kit first!

 

Alrite, let me revise that.

I fitted clear covers off OEM clear halogens to my frosted housings and it was pefect fit. It's been fine for 3 months now.

Assuming that EBAY lens is like OEM clear lens, it would fit fine

Sorry, I misled you there
