  • headlight lenses?

    hey guys some smart guy kicked in one of my headlight lenses, and the other was cracked in an accident a while back. last night, after having to jump start the car, the one lense still there fell out, due to its crack..

    is it possible to get just lenses? has anyone got a pair? or do i need whole new headlight units?

    again im after them asap, as i really need the car driveable at night.

    cheers

    The lens, or glass part is the same as Mk1.
    I`d get an old set of Mk1 headlights with rusty reflectors and good glass and destroy em for the glass

        I had a similar incident a while ago... one of mine fell out in traffic. Attach your new lens with strong waterproof clear sealant or something similar

          ha! must be a common thing.

          Mine happened at the mechanics couple years back.

          Apparently "just fell out".

          mm, bummer was they replaced it with a non genuine one.

          yeah use a silicon sealer

            Same thing happened to me a couple of years ago as well.. I wish I'd known they were the same as Mk1 lenses, I ended up buying a whole new headlight.
