Hi All,

I took a rock in my drivers side headlight lense. I see IPD offers a lense only replacement. Two questions: One, does anyone know the quality of those IPD replacement lenses? Two, I know how to access the lense, but how is it sealed? Glue and/or o-ring? Do I glue the new lense on? If so what type of adhesive?

Thanks,

Chuck

    The headlight assembly, along with the turn signal needs to come out. Remove the turn signal first. The lense is attached with mental clips and has a rubber seal. The lense from IPD will come with a new rubber seal.
    Very easy to do, just make sure you do not touch the bulb or the silver coating.
