So I've got a small hole in the drivers side headlamp and because of that it won't pass inspection. Hopefully can find just the lens. I know how to do this with the oven method (done before, different car) except this time kinda in a time crunch to get car inspected to get registration completed by EOM. Don't want to spend 3-4-5 hundred dollars on whole assembly when I know I can DIY for under a hundred.

Anyone know where I could pick one up, hell, even borrow, lol. I've check amazon, ebay too long of delivery and expensive delivery. Local pick-a-parts don't seems to have late model cars and of course dealership out of the question. Suggestions please. TIA.

 

found one locally on craigslist

So this gives me the option to just swap out whole unit but mine is black on the inside and this is the shiny, two tone headlights on my c300, no thanks . Or I could still just swap out the lens and having matching units.

 

You can swap the lens. The chrome trim pieces can be removed and you can swap the pieces for the black ones.

I'm assuming you know how to open the headlights?

 

I know how to open them. Do I need to find another donor for the black pieces swapping out the chrome?

 

Just swap the pieces from your current headlight that has the black trim inside.

 

AH! duh, long day.

Thanks!
