WTB: broken/cracked '08+ headlight to experiment with
This all depends on the type of damage. Basically, I have one with a crack on the right side of the lens and I'm looking for one with at least the right side intact. Yes, I am aware that it's all one piece and that it will need to be cut, glued, and hidden behind some kind of cover.

Basically, here's the deal:
My headlight with the broken lens was intended to go in a modified fairing on a '97 EX250F. I originally intended to hide the crack with colored headlight mesh and a tinted headlight protector while compensating for the decreased brightness with the brightest H7 halogen bulbs I could buy. That was the plan until the weather ruined the reflector in my good headlight on my J-bike ('08 EX250J). Now I need to salvage the reflector to fix my uncracked headlight. Without a good reflector, my F-bike will need a HID Bi-Xenon kit with projectors to compensate, which would look too damned good to hide under tinting and headlight mesh. It occurred to me that a line straight down the middle would be even better because then it will just look like a headlight shaping mod (black line down the middle on a black bike). My crack does not go straight down the middle, so it would involve combining two cheap broken headlights which are cracked on opposite sides. A long shot, I know, but your trash could be my treasure. That said, I really don't want to spend over $40 on a broken headlight. Quote:
Are you talking about trading an enclosure with bad mounting tabs for one with good mounting tabs? I'll have to take a look at the one I bought last year with a cracked lens to see (I didn't pay attention because it wasn't going to use the mounts in a '97 F-bike). I'd still need a lens though. |
