Headlight Lens Replacement?

Post by silent-gerbil » Thu Jul 21, 2011 4:24 pm

My driver side headlight has a small crack in the top edge, you cant see it when the bonnet is shut but its letting in a small amount of water and causing the light to fog up.
Does anyone know if its possible to replace the clear lens?

Unfortunately no it isn't... you would have to replace the complete light cluster!

Or seal the crack with some clear silicone & the moisture inside will soon dry out ?

I had a bike with a crack across the headlight sealed with silcone & it passed multiple MOTs & didn't get any condensation etc. in so am sure would be OK especially if can't see it when bonnet is closed.
