About a year ago, I salvaged new wires out of a junker to replace the
melted plug on the right headlight of the 124 300D (1987) Now, the
"new" wire is burned again. I know this is a common problem, but has
anyone found other solutions for a more permanent fix. I know herr
Stern will sell high watt lights, relays, wires, plugs, etc for whatever
the going price is ($500 or $600) I don't want to spend that much money
on what now is a $1000 car. I don't even want to spend the $100 or so
on the new wire and plug from MB when I can find used ones for much less.
In the meantime, I salvaged another wire from a busted up light, and a
rt and left headlight assembly; rt with a very old headlight door and
left with no headlight door. So, I have options. wire or whole assembly.
Would it do any good to also replace the bulb? Last year I believe I
reused the same bulb. At any rate, it was a used bub, not a new one.
MY thinking is new bub=shiny pins .: less resistance .: less heat buildup.
and a shot of deoxit while plugging and unplugging the old bub...before
installing with a new bub.
Any ideas?
