Cracked Headlight

Does anyone have any idea which part number it is for the replacement glass cover over headlight? Is it an easy job also? It's for a 2017 G63 Thanks a lot

Carforhire i can see no repair lense ie glass for your headlight only a new replacement headlight unit . Cost anything from £200 to ...£400 for your type of lights .Try and get a glass repair done like they do on the front screens of the car. Dont use the car in the rain if you do then water will get in and damage the deflectors . Stick a little silicon on the crack for now.

I had exactly the same on a 2016 model. One option was to replace the glass but there is no way I could get the original glass off as the adhesive is baked on.
I ultimately brought some replacement HID lights off Ebay. They are from China and thus not up to the same standard as MB but MB Aust quoted $3500 for a single light. The replacement headlight works a treat.

Let me know if u want the ebay link

2016 G550. Bone stock.
If anyone else has this issue, I'll share my experience. I have the same lights on my 2016 and noticed a small star crack, maybe about 3mm. I ran the lights on a sunny day for about an hour to clear out any moisture inside, then used a windshield repair kit ($15) to epoxy the crack. I then installed headlight protection film from WeatherTech ($50). Hopefully it'll keep out moisture and prevent future cracks. My G550 is not a show car; it's a daily driver and I use it as a work truck on my farm so a little headlight crack doesn't bother me in terms of appearance. I just want to make sure moisture doesn't get in and start fogging up the lens or cause corrosion.
