Headlight Lens X253 P/F for Mercedes-Benz GLC-CLASS

Replacement clear polycarbonate headlamp lens for the first-generation Mercedes-Benz GLC SUV (X253) pre-facelift, 2016–2018. Precision-moulded to OE geometry to restore optical clarity and sealing when your original lens is cracked, hazed or yellowed. Sold per side — choose Left or Right.

What this is / isn’t:

• Included: 1× clear outer lens (lens only).

• Not included: Rear housing/shell, LED/halogen/xenon optics or modules, drivers/ballasts/igniters, DRL/indicator PCB, wiring, adjusters, rear caps, or adhesive/sealant.

Key Features:

• OE-Accurate Profile: Correct curvature and bonding flange for a clean, factory-fit on X253 pre-facelift housings.

• Optical Clarity: UV-stabilised polycarbonate preserves sharp cut-off and the GLC DRL signature.

• Seal-Ready: Smooth perimeter lip for reliable resealing with automotive butyl or PU headlight sealant.

• Cost-Effective Repair: Renew the damaged lens only; keep your good internals and electronics.

Compatibility:

• GLC-Class SUV (X253) — 2016–2018 Pre-Facelift

• Works with Halogen, LED High Performance (Single-LED), and “Double-LED” variants where the outer lens outline is shared (internal tech differs).
  Not for GLC Coupé (C253), 2019–2022 facelift (MOPF), or X254 (2023–Present). Always confirm by VIN and visual match.

Related Part Number Families (cross-refs):
Typical complete-lamp series: A253-906-xx-xx (LH) / A253-907-xx-xx (RH). Lens subcomponents carry variant-specific suffixes — verify via VIN and the stamp on your original lens.

What’s Included / Not Included:

• Included: 1× clear headlamp lens only, side-specific.

• Not included: Housing, optics/modules, control units, DRL/indicator boards, adjusters, gaskets, rear covers, or sealant.

Installation Notes (Pro Tips):

• Remove lamp; gently heat the perimeter (low-heat oven or careful heat gun) to soften factory adhesive.

• Separate lens; remove all old butyl/PU and test-fit before bonding.

• Use quality butyl rope (serviceable) or automotive PU (permanent). Clamp/tape evenly while curing.

• Ensure vent ports are clear; replace desiccant if fitted.

• After refit, check headlight aim and perform a light-mist leak test to verify seal integrity.

• Beam pattern is set by the internal optics — the lens does not change RHD/LHD cut-off.

Q&A
Q1: Will a new lens stop condensation? Usually yes, if vents are clear and the lens is bonded with the correct sealant.
Q2: Is adhesive included? No. Use automotive-grade butyl or PU headlight sealant.
Q3: Can this lens convert Single-LED ↔ Double-LED? No. Those differences are internal (modules/ECUs). This lens supports like-for-like repairs.
Q4: Left or Right — which do I choose? Order the side matching your damaged lamp. On RHD vehicles, Left = driver, Right = passenger. Confirm by VIN and visual match.
