Rock decided to greet mine and left a welcome hole in the driver side clear lense.
Does anyone have a source on a lense only? Light works fine and I don't want to have to buy the whole unit.

2005 Mini Cooper S

Thanks

I'm afraid that you're going to have to buy the whole unit, Eddie, unless you find somebody that has separated the unit with heat and elbow grease. The only reason somebody would do that was to do the 'Joey' mod, in which case they would re-seal and re-use them. Which side is busted?

 

If you do replace it, hella, the OEM has a storefront on amazon, and sells them cheaper than the dealer...about $350 if I recall right for the "facelift" xenon's...
If you have the halogens, it is likely you can find them used pretty cheap, or get an exact fit OEM copy from an after market site, like rockauto, or do the pair....

About 10+ years ago when I bought my car I got 3m plastic headlight covers, very thick.....for the exact reason you experienced...
Now 10+ years later, headlights are still perfectly clear, heck the clear covers are in great shape too..
They are installed like window tint, but are VERY thick....but prevents the headlights from getting hazy or holes knocked in them from anything unless it is big enough to really hurt.....

 

Thanks Guys
The driver side is the one that got rocked. I saw CarID has after,market replacements
for $87. I was hoping there would be a lense only for sale by now as an aftermarket replacement. but noooooo!

 

Waymotorworks parts out wrecked cars...he has a website, but IMO call for used parts,not all are listed.
Might get you a used halogen..OEM...might even be slightly cheaper since there is not much demand for the halogen units...
That way they both have a few miles so one does not look new...
If you go new, IMO get a pair, or the car might look a bit odd...you could TRY to polish the old one to save a $.

Thanks Zippy
That's a great price at Rockauto.com

update
Oh well. Rockauto only has the right side at that price. I need the left. So @$87 at either place.
