    Thanks to a very cool subscriber, it’s time to update the look of the cheap, Copart Mercedes S600 V12! MWM shows you how to remove the old headlight lens by using an oven and how to replace the turn signal indicatos on the side mirrors!

I have a 2004 CL500 with PSE issues. No soft close, non-functioning door locks...etc. I've owned this car for 12 years now. It is my daily except when it is in the shop.
