Keep us posted George....thanks much for looking into it.
Do you know if the old style on the right, smaller picture, if I have that style, with fog light feature, if I try to upgrade to the newer style, picture on right, big picture, would it just plug and play? What I mean is the holes on the back where the bulbs screw in, is all that all the same?
What are these guards that Richard has? Is there a picture of that on an older post?
Cheers,
Tibor
Gee Give a guy a break
One thread at a time.
I went to the yard of secondhand no one wants anymore Sprinters and had a real good look at the old 98 Sprinters with the non clear glass diffuser and the next model lights with diffuser in the glass or Poly Carbonate Plastic lenses.
Ok interesting points the latter is plug and go providing you have the two way switch which integrates with the head light stalk, that's final it plugs in.
Varying colors are due to age UV lighting and a sandblasted effect depending on mileage etc.
I made a comment that these lights appeared to have a milky off white appearance from inside of the lights, "thinking because the light itself is plastic, I thought the fog-light may have burnt or changed the inside appearance?"
It wasn't until I came back home , the penny dropped as to my back number plate frame developing a similar look???? What the off white semi opaque look is not from the fog-lamp but carbon build up from the diesel engine, it's a very light Grey film surrounding the entire chrome frame inside of the unit that gives off the dull or tired look the fumes from diesel can penetrate from both light sockets and the little rubber vent tube along side of the light to let out condensation build up, in a nut sheel it's pollution, YUK.
I will run up the light frame for the headlights latter on today and show the photos part numbers etc.if you can be patient my curious friends
And just to set the thread into tremble again for another thread, feast your eyes on this and drawl
PS it's awfully quiet today with the threads!"any comments"
