[W126 Coupe] headlight bulb replacement

[Jonathan]

Hello Ronny,

It looks like Steve chimed in w/ a good bit of info!  Last I checked, it 
was around 140 for all the bits new.  Installing isn't terribly 
difficult..running vacuum line to the lights is easy, getting through 
the dash to the bulkhead take a bit more fiddling..  Either way in an 
hour or so one should be done with the install.

And driving in the US is quite different from driving over in the UK and 
I would highly recommend coming over and giving our roads a work out..we 
do have some great ones!

Shoot me an email should you be interested..!
