Has anyone attempted to replace just the lense from the headlights. They are starting to sell these on eBay with quick shipping. Used to be a. Alibaba special. I have a broken lense on a brand new adaptive beam unit. Long story short car has just come out of the body shop for a broken headlight and bumper scuff. and a month later small accident on the same unit. Trying to see how hard to remove or out a claim in and pay the deductible

is it a simple heat gun and pry or is original fused with impossible glue?

 

ricardoa1, I tried pulling a lens off of a damaged headlight in an attempt to replace it. I wish you luck. It doesn't use the normal glue. It is using something else. The clear lens is stuck on there pretty good. Maybe there is a process that I do not know about, but I ended up destroying the clear lens (which it already was) and still have tons of the clear left in the groove for the sealing.

 

Bummer sounds like it’s a multiple hours with a dremel type of job. Grinding and cleaning that groove with grinding bits. ugh. I’m afraid of putting in a claim for a similar repair, I don’t want them to think I’m scamming them. Bummer. I’ll have to decide what to do.

 

I have heard of shops sticking these headlight units in an oven for a few mins to soften this glue , try google

 

On YouTube good luck
