I need help from a auto electrician with a voltage issue to my R129 (1998).
My front headlights are different in their shine but all the bulbs are new / correct and need a voltage check to each side to compare and fix.

ideally a mobile service in the Surrey / Hampshire area but happy to travel to their site if necessary.

Thank you

Check the reflectors, they loose their chrome. Then the plug on rear for earth.

Hadn’t thought of that and thank you - will start to look for new reflectors for both sides now - any suggestions?

On one of the car restoration programs - Salvage Hunters Classic Cars they took some lights to a place in Birmingham (in the jewellery quarter I think) and they completely redid them. Very impressive job they did.

It was on one of the very few programmes I watched ... they were from a Fiat 130 Coupe ;)
