Mercedes Headlight Assembly - ZKW 2048204239

Product Information

Most US market cars after 1984 transitioned from sealed beam headlights to headlight assemblies. A headlight assembly generally consists of a headlight housing, lens, mounts, adjusting units, and a reflector. While some Halogen headlight assemblies may come with bulbs, most HID headlight assemblies do not include bulbs or other electrical units, making it important to check to see what is included before ordering. A good condition headlight assembly is important for both night time visibility as well as good vehicle aesthetics.

• Cracked, delaminating, or damaged lens: The headlight assembly is mounted at the most vulnerable spot on the car. If it becomes broken or damaged by road debris, it should be replaced.
• Condensation: Moisture or condensation inside the headlight assembly indicates a failing seal or crack in the housing.
• Headlight Alignment Issues: If the headlight assembly is damaged, misaligned, or loose, the headlights may not properly focus the light on the road, causing poor visibility.

About ZKW

Karl Zizala founded ZKW in Vienna in 1938. The brand name is derived from the initials of his name plus "W" for the Austrian capital ("Vienna", "Wien" in German).

The company was expanded in 1954 with the addition of the headlamp factory in Wieselburg, where metal components were initially made for the Lohner and Puch factories. Today the site forms a central core element of the ZKW Group production network.

As a sector leader, the ZKW Group as a whole employs around 5,000 people at its sites in Austria, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, China, India, Mexico and the USA.
