Please help identify headlamp lens
« on: December 20, 2015, 12:43:12 »
Hi. I have a 108 chassis car and a few years ago bought a pair of spare headlight lenses, advertised as being for my car. They're not, and I've tried several times over the years to identify which Merc they fit - unsuccessfully.

I just Googled the part number again and it came up as fitting a W113. However, it doesn't look like it would to me.

Can anyone tell me whether this fits a later version of the W113? If not, does anyone know what it does fit?

The part number is 1305 630 017.

Hi,

No it will not fit any w113.  Looks like a late Bilux Euro w108/109 lens to me, that will also fit but not be correct for a w111/w112 and earlier w108/w109 car.

Thanks Hans.

That makes sense as I did buy it as a part of my 108.

What's Bilux mean?

Cheers,

Will
