Mercedes Headlight Lens - Genuine Mercedes 1298201166

Product Information

A headlight lens is a replacement glass or plastic cover that encloses the existing headlight assembly. Over time a headlight lens can crack or yellow with a cloudy appearance after years of being exposed to the elements. The lens is designed to shield the headlight assembly to illuminate the road ahead during low-visibility conditions at night or in bad weather and also makes the vehicle more visible to other drivers. A new clear replacement headlight lens will greatly improve light output and visibility allowing for a safer drive.

• Cracked or pitted lens from road debris
• Hazy or yellow lens reducing light output
• Condensation: Moisture or condensation inside the headlight assembly indicates a failing seal.

About Genuine Mercedes

The original parts used by Mercedes Benz to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine Mercedes Benz” brand. Manufactured under the direction of Mercedes Benz, expect excellent quality and a premium price since these parts are exclusively available through the Mercedes Benz Dealership network.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your Mercedes-Benz are not necessarily manufactured by Mercedes-Benz. No cause for concern, as Mercedes-Benz designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for Mercedes-Benz for decades. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine Mercedes-Benz parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a Mercedes-Benz logo.

Be sure to keep an eye out for OE tags on our product pages to quickly identify parts coming direct from OE manufacturers. That extra bit of insight could save you some serious money while shopping! Refer to our OE Academy for further information regarding the OE/OEM tags throughout the site.
