Hi
I have noticed my driver side headlight reflector is rusted.Can anyone suggest where I could purchase one. The headlight unit is in perfect condition and would like to avoid buying another unit.
Any help greatly appreciated.

For which car? The lamp internals are not service items snd getting the lamps apart to work on them is highly non-trivial in and of itself.

Apologies
I forgot to mention it was for a 1990 W124, 260E.
I believe the headlight can be disassembled but mercedes no longer sell the reflector.

They don’t but others do.


Part 14 is the reflector. You’ll need to identify the correct one, but I chose one at random and found it for sale pretty quickly.

Was hoping to source item in the Uk or Europe.
I thought a lot of W124 0wners would have similar rusted reflector issues.
Thanks for your help.

Find the right part number, then do a Google search for it…

Never seen such a problem on my w124, but it
went to the rust grave a few years ago.

If I recall the originals were Hella, I dont see this being seperate from the lens. Best bet a new
set of headlamps from ECP:

Hella lamps are marked specifically on that Nemiga link I posted above…
