Having worked in a plant that made automotive headlamp assemblies I can tell you that the aluminized reflector degrades significantly in the presence of moisture. If you have a broken glass, even if you manage to unglue the lens from the reflector by cutting through the rtv, you will most likely have a reflector that aint what it used to be. If you can get the whole assembly for 158 and it is a glass lens, go for it. If you are in a state that checks headlamp output on inspections, it might fail on that side just cause of the reflector.
