Headlight Repairs

Like everything else on my CL600, the headlights work fine, but they are not perfect. The Bulbs aren’t as bright as I think they should be, and the lenses are a bit foggy and ****ty
I’ve had really (like really) good results by putting these into the S500:

Has anyone retrofitted these projectors into their CL’s? What about headlight lens restoration? Restoration on the S500 didn’t work super well, so I bought some chinese lenses for $70 on ebay, and they immediately made the car look $20k more expensive.

I haven’t found equivalent lenses for the CL, so I think restoration is the only/best option.

there are no lenses for W215, not Chinese not anywhere else

to remove the oem lens for a restauration or mod, use a oven
many HOW TO on youtube




There are many choices for DAS/Xentry Diagnostics for MB.
Ensure you have the right information before getting one. There is too much misleading info.
I’m a forum member and programmer who’s learned the hard way. PM me if you have any questions.

Thanks, but if there’s no replacement lenses I don’t see how it would help :/
