I would rewire it myself if everything is accessible, otherwise maybe get new headlights, got myself some new one from DEPO.
the depot headlights have been great for me and wayyyyy less than replacement stock ones cost.
I’ve finally pulled the trigger on getting the original US Sealed Beam headlights swapped out for some new Euro/WW Composite glass-lens units. The install was super smooth and straightforward. I found a pair of new DEPO headlights on eBay. The new DEPOs came with a janky headlight wiring adapter but, I opted for a OEM-quality install with 2 new 6-pin headlight connectors. The headlights have full functionality including the W3W City Lights which I soldered in.
I have had DEPO lights on other cars, they are fine replacements, espcially for an older car.
Had a 1975 Merc a few years ago and I swear the Bosch headlights were original
Just search for e-code headlights. I have Depo and they're fine, but not as nice as OEM Valeo.
Those HID bulbs are clip H1 housing type and the US style lights won't fit because they are twist 9005/9006 housing. You need the glass depo/zkw/bosch type to fit those H1 bulbs
I admit they do "look" good because they are brand new, but they are the biggest pile of excrement this side of the equator! My headlights for that wagon, while the beams are near perfectly aimed (yes i did that) i about have a brain aneurysm Everytime I see them in the front of the wagon, specially if I get locked or fixated.
I have bosche oem lights and they have very poor performance at night.
that Depo crap isn't worth the work
