The presented headlight is dedicated to the Mercedes SLK R171 model and is mounted on the front right side of the vehicle. Using an original lamp ensures compatibility with factory mounting points, body geometry, and optical parameters specified by the manufacturer.

Positioned on the passenger side in the front bumper and fender, this component is responsible for both road illumination and vehicle visibility to other road users. Choosing an original headlight reduces the risk of issues with headlight height adjustment and fitment to the hood and bumper.

• correct light beam distribution to the right side of the road,
• compatibility with the factory electrical system of the Mercedes SLK R171,
• stable mounting within the front body structure.

By maintaining the original geometry of the reflectors and lens, the headlight allows for precise beam adjustment on diagnostic equipment, which is essential for technical inspections and calibration following bodywork repairs.

The headlight is offered as a used original component, which is a cost-effective solution for post-accident repairs, replacing a damaged lamp, or restoring the vehicle to its factory specification. Using dismantled parts helps reduce service costs while maintaining proper fitment for the model.

This product is particularly suitable in situations where it is necessary to replace the right lamp following a collision, mechanical damage, or due to wear and tear, where the priority is to maintain the original appearance of the vehicle's front and correct lighting parameters.

• Factory fitment – compatibility with the body line, mounting points, and electrical system.
• Stable lighting parameters – proper light distribution, facilitating headlight adjustment in accordance with legal requirements.
• Visual consistency – maintaining the original appearance of the vehicle's front, which is important for post-accident repairs and restorations.
