Why the ultra bright lights in densely populated country?
Speed limits have not changed since 1970s and many are actually lower.
In 1970s to late 1999 I use to drive around 35K miles a year and never had a problem with standard lights at the time.
SUVs vans etc and BMW Mini are particularly bad...
A battery in poor condition will throw up all sorts of problems.
MBs don't like kike short trips, not enough time to re-charge the battery.
If you find the instruments/indicators not working when starting the car,
run at fast idle (1500RPM) for about a minute, switch off and REMOVE the key...
Have classic car insured, just renewed with Hagerty. Agreed value, recovery (including main land Europe) and legal expense protection, 190£
75£ would for very basic insurance with no agreed value (?)
House insurance has gone by around 20% Will have to check a comparison site.
When the battery was on the way out (10 years old) caused all sorts problems, no instruments, indicators, lights etc.
The CLK always started, run it for a few minutes, switch off and REMOVE the key and the re-start, everything worked.
The same battery is in my Ponton and still works ok.
Wound up Ponton 190 (64 years old) last driven to Thoresby Park show 8 Oct.
Everything worked as it should. The great thing about these old cars not much to go wrong.
When it does very expensive to fix.
Have been through this hoolahoop with CLK, 3 sets of LEDs.
This compatible that compatible nothing worked.
The last LED ones I fitted to 190B and are no brighter than originals.
If you want to preserve your sanity don't bother.
