Red face SOS Headlamp washer cover missing.

Hi,
I went to get in car for lunch and noticed that my passenger headlamp washer cover was missing. I looked in the parts manual and they show that u have to buy the whole lens @ $190 ea, ouch. Does anyone have one laying around or know of an alternative besides salvage yard.
Thanks,
Mike

I have seen them on ebay for about $20 - $40 routinely. Also, check the UK ebay site as well, as small items can ship cheaply to the US if they fall in the "small packet" category.

No, they are available separately. It is only part of the lens if you have the non-powerwash headlamps.

I got one from British Parts, they have them available for both sides. It just looks like a piece of mirror that has been hand cut to size, but I guess the tricky bit is the plastic clip on the back that attaches to the headlamp assembly.

I had the same experience courtesy of Indiana's pot hole filled roads. I ordered the washer cover from Jagbits, and it arrived in a few days- it says made in France and cost $56.00. My question is- how is it installed? Is it glued?
