headlight switch
« on: September 03, 2008, 15:51:33 »

 i bought an '69 280 sl for restoration with broken european headlights and in stead i bought a set of us headlights.
Anyone knows how to replace them? anyone did it?

Lots of info in the Technical Manual on headlights.

hi,

first of all i don't sell the EU lights

the lights fit, i know , but the problem are the seales beams housing, they really don't fit!
does anyone has any pic of his sealed beam housing for his 280 sl?
i think i bought a wrong set!
