Default Head light Plastic Lens

Hi all;

I have a broken front left plastic lens covering, and was wondering if anyone has ever replaced it before?

The headlights/turn signal/running lights are fine. It "seem" one has to pull the bumper off (or at least loosen it) to pull the plastic lens assembly out. Is this a major job and/or doable?

Thanks, Steve

Hey Steve

Welcome to the forum, bad news though dude. The headlights are a unit. So it's going to be pricey

Thanks Sidewalkman.

Well hopefully it's not too bad of an install. Better me doing the job then paying $$ for labor somewhere else.

It is not that big a job, pay attention to the adjustor mounts, they are very very brittle, you can and maybe should get replacements. Buy them off eBay just search for X-Type headlights and there are adjustors there pretty cheap for reinforced jobs.

Sidewalk;

Nice wheels, like the wagon format. Don't have that "form factor" here in the U.S. from what I've seen so far.

Finally found a used entire D/S headlight assembly off Ebay for < $250. Did the R/R from the "stickys" off the JAG boards and am good to go now.

TY, Steve
