We don't have the black 'ring' like you guys have across the back on the lens..

Sucks man.. At least no one was hurt.. Did you at least get some venison out of the deal!?!?
 
Why not file the report with insurance?

They will give you $1600+ for the light. Then you can find one for less than half of that online. Surely your deductible is less than that?
 
it was small...maybe 50 pounds...would have been tender

no marinating needed....just right on the grill with some salt and pepper

funny..guy came out of his house and said the same thing, but it took off into the woods

at least this didn't happen

lmaoooooo....guess thats an advantage of having expensive ass headlights.
 
Sucks it's the pass side. There's someone selling a drivers side in the fs forums right now.

There is a difference in the lens shape between generations. Dunno if a swap is possible. But I bet a gen 2 halogen lens would work.
 
your fu..kin telling me...holy sh..it

when i bought the car...my worst nightmare was having to replace one of these

use insurance and get the $1600.

tasca has them brand new for $1200 that leaves $400 cash in the pocket and with the deductuble if its $500 well worst case scenario you are out $100.

or find one used and put a bunch of cash in your pocket.

If he can swap lenses, I'd advise to get the 1600 less ded., and buy a halogen drivers side and do the swap. He'd still cone out ahead.

will the guts of the HID fit in the Halogen housing
 
i should...but my housing is ok

if i find a 2nd gen headlight..i could just swap the lens
 
This is off topic but Toecutter aren't you one of the ones who runs spacers on your OEM 8 spokes?
 
Thanx Black.. long day..was just pulling the shades down

was going to search tomorrow
 
From the pic in your sig it sure looks like your offset on those wheels isn't 60. I thought you were one of the ones who had the hubcentric spacer/adapters some people had been running, my bad
 
I think it's just the angle of the pic Bull...sometimes I see pix of your car and it looks like it has spacers
 
It's all good.

Sorry to hear about the deer man. PM starfox86 he had a set of genII lights he cut apart for a projector project he never finished. I bought the front lens for my drivers side from him for cheap when Alex did my lights, so he probably still has the passenger side sitting around.
