OEM Driving lights r53

So long story short I was driving and a rock broke my driving light. I went to the dealer and they wanted 170 or so for one light. So after some looking around found same light for under 60 dollars. I just needed the light it self not the whole housing. So I came across item number DS-280029 which are for Harley motorcycles. The link is below if anyone wants to keep the oem lights. I hope this helps anyone that has been looking.

The same thing happened to me recently. I've been looking for a suitable aftermarket replacement, and this just might do it. Thanks!

???? you mean you needed the lens? or the 'innerds'? I don't follow 'not the whole housing'

Does this item then provide a replacement lens and reflector that fits the OE housing?

Just needed the lens. Mini will not sell just the lens. Mini will only sell the whole housing unit as a whole.

I just put it on my car today everything fit. The DS-280029 light is 100% the same lens used in the factory lights for the mini.
