Here is some advice, I wish I had taken it...

After I did conversion, I had a small leak in the black housing part of the radiatior, a lot of labor went into it.

If you can have your shop run a compression test, and if it needs; change the parts needed, would be a great time..

My went bad about a week after conversion, could it have been from the shop themselves or due to age of the car...I don't know. 3k later...it was fixed.

Currently considering an SL55 with parking sensors. Does that make the front conversion more difficult?

sorry for the old thread, but the headlights bracket number have apparently been updated, and cant get the numbers you have listed anymore, did you say the ones thats come on the standard lights are no good? They look the same
thanks
