Bosch reflector 1 305 320 837 for the right H4 rectangular headlight of the Mercedes S-Class W116 (1972–1980).
NOS – new old stock · Original Bosch box · For Euro version, left-hand drive
Condition of this part
New old stock (NOS) in the original Bosch box.
Function and location
The reflector is the optical heart of the headlight: a high-gloss chromed parabolic bowl that focuses the light of the H4 dual-filament bulb and projects it forward as low or high beam. Dulled or hazy reflectors are the most common cause of weak light on classics and cannot be polished – only replaced. The lens continues to be used.
The reflector is installed at the front right in the rectangular Bosch headlight housing behind the lens; a black rubber dust cap seals the bulb opening towards the engine bay.
How can you tell a reflector is defective?
- Weak or hazy low or high beam despite an intact bulb
- Visibly dulled, blotchy or hazy chrome plating on the parabolic bowl
- Noticeably lower light output compared with the left side of the vehicle

Bosch reflector 1 305 320 837 (right side). The reflector also carries the Bosch label of the corresponding complete headlight unit 0 301 056 108 (right, W116) – both numbers belong together. The left side carries the number 1 305 320 836 and is not interchangeable with this right-side version. The W123 uses different reflectors, including Bosch 1 305 320 828.
⚠ Important: compare the part number before buying
Side and part number are decisive: the left side is Bosch 1 305 320 836. The numbers belong to different headlight components and are not interchangeable.
Does not fit:
- US versions with round sealed-beam headlights
- Right-hand drive
- Mercedes W123 (different reflectors there, including Bosch 1 305 320 828)
- Supplied without further components – only the reflector insert is included
