Folks:
Hoping someone could help me make sure I order the correct things.
2003 9-5 Sedan (Arc), with Xenon headlights. Repeated attempts at refinishing hazed-over lenses have yielded poor to at best fair results. Since I plan to keep the car a few more years, I am thinking I might bite the bullet and order the headlamp assemblies, swap the "guts" from the existing assemblies (bulbs and controllers) and reinstall. I am mechanically inclined and it looks like a fairly straightforward DYI, with a little patience.
My question is around what to order. The big items are the 5496385 and 5496393 assemblies -- that's straightforward. Do I need to also order any seals (like the ones that appear to be under the controllers) or any other items? I would hate to get things apart only to find that a part I need is not transferable or in too bad condition to reuse (the lamps themselves are all realtively new, BTW).
Any thoughts?
Many thanks
pme
