Yeah, for something cosmetic like this I would be OK with URO. I can’t believe I’m saying that, but since Bosch headlight doors for the W123 are NLA, URO is the only choice anymore. And as this is a bottom feeder car, so why dump money into it for something like a headlight door? -D > On

Allen is a Gen I w126 that had screwed up fog lights, so I put in a set of Gen II lights. These are pretty ok, but I think the doors are original and are showing some age. Having dealt with a few of these headlight doors at PnP, they tend to disintegrate after 30 years. Being a bottom
