Sorry man. That blows! Probably a good thing you didn't catch the punk(s) that did it. Try to remember karma's a bit*h, the good Lord whips without a stick, and all those other sayings because they will get theirs.

No luck on e-bay but found a set in the NAM marketplace for $120/set. Good luck. I'm sure someone else on here will have some better ideas. Sorry about that.

Look at it positively. They didn't wreck your paint! But still, someone broke the GOLDEN RULE!

I really don't know what happened... I was over a friend's place last night and then came home. Didn't notice it till this morning. No way it happened at my house because I would have heard it. This really sucks...

If it was hit hard enough and from the looks of it, it probably was. Open the inside the compartment and inspect the bracket that the light housing bolts slip through. It may be bent in some too.

Is that red Lamin-x on the light ?

I'll check it out tomorrow morning when it stops raining. I think it should be ok.

It's just red vinyl. I actually only wrapped it a week ago.

I could be paranoid, but it looks/feels like scuff marks... like from a sneaker or something plastic.
