Angry Argh... HELP. Giving up on cleared lights. Only 1 working HL now...

So long story short, someone cliped me in a parking lot. There was only scuffing so I wan't too worried about it. And then in rained. Hard. The next morning my left head ligh assembly was full of water and the other side was misting. And tonight I head light has already died.

Right I'm over the whole clear cornered thing. Can anyone suggest a cheap place to buy 2 OEM headlight assemblies for something less then the dealer will rape me for?

I just don't want to deal with the headaches anymore.

Is that the best course of action?

ANY information would really appreciated.

Thanks peoples,

Joe

you happen to be selling the clear diffusers in your old headlights?
if so, get at me.
also, ebay will be your best bet for a set.. usually 50-75 for one.

Ok... so do you think my best best is to look for the housing and the ballast seperately? There was a guy selling a pair (complete with bulbs, balast, etc) but for $1000. I had not idea they cost the much...

If you said some guy scaped you, and caused the damage which you didn't notice until later on. That's still considered to be an accident, so you can claim it on you insurance. That's if you have insurance, and your deductible is not too high.

OK, so I have an appointment to determine what part of the high beam died. This is good. I have dried all the moisture from inside the housing. My appointment is on Friday. The problem is it's supposed to rain befor then.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to keep the moisture out until then?

I was thinking of taping a white plactic bad over the entire assmply. Does any one have any better suggestions?

Thanks!

Joe
