1996 Mercedes SL500 R129 Project Heidi Part 7B: Xenon Headlight Restoration. Wiring and Transformers

Welcome back for the second half of our episodes dedicated entirely to restoring the Xenon Headlights of Project Heide. We assemble our wiring harnesses, learn about pinning and de-pinning wiring looms, and put everything back together for a complete and restored set of Xenon headlights and new Corner Lights. The corner lights are literally a snap to install compared to weeks and weeks worth of focused attention on new wiring.
Parts Used:
DJ621-2.2A Wire Pins for Transformer Harness
DJ623-E3.5B Wire Pins for Xenon Ballast Harness
Silicone Wire Seals
Terminal Pin Removal Toolkit

Interesting video! Did you post a video previously showing how the headlight assembly comes apart? I don’t seem to see that.

Thanks for watching the channel! Hope you like the content. Yes, I posted a video about the disassembly of the headlights in Part 7A. There was so much to do I had to split the video into two parts. Check out episode 7A for how to crack open the Xenon headlights on a R129. Thanks for the comment and keep watching for more episodes. Cheers!
