This is an awesome resto mod! I just discovered this channel this morning and I’m blown away. Very elegantly done! M119 with a manual is a match made in heaven. Bravo on your hard work!!
Nice video and great upgrade to ecode lights which are much better than the US spec lights for that vintage. The "knobs" on the lenses of the US spec headlights are actually "aiming pads" for mechanically adjusted US spec headlights. The euro spec lights don't have that. Cars that have wiper blades on the headlights , like my w124 e420 , didn't have these pads for the wipers.
I like this and I'm in the market for my 1992 500SL but I'm surprised that the light kit is $2500 USD. I was excited this week because I found a 500 at the yard that didn't have the wiper holes on the trim but it had the motors behind it so someone did the delete.
I did the same thing first time with my R129 clear corners 😅. To fix this I had to slightly trim the locking tab opening so that it'll engage sooner. Otherwise you push in too hard and the edge breaks off.

For any chipped or cracked lenses, use super glue to keep moisture out

Where did you get headlights?
Looks like there is some gap between the headlight and the bumper. Is there a way to reduce the gap?
There’s no rubber on the trim I’ll put it in later hopefully will close the gap
What suspension set up you got goin on? Is it on springs or coilovers?
Coil overs
*you DEF need Amber corners now*
All clears for me baby
Same thing happened to me with the side marker
Glad I’m not the only one 😅
