Ouch! I wonder how far LaminX would have gone to protect against a hit like that?!

WOW

Don't think Lamin X would have done anything for you. Something that hit that hard it doing to break it anyway.

Maybe you can get your Insurance to pay for part of the Xenon Retrofit kit. It would help if they would.

Bought a used headlight off of eBay. So far so good. I'd be pissed if that happened to a xenon upgrade light.
