Has anybody got a nearside/passenger side headlight complete for sale please. Mine is leaking water in around the top plastic lens.
Many thanks.
Dave

It's possible to fix this. I put mine on an oven set @ 120 (with the door ajar as the light's too big) for a few minutes then with a 2p work around the join between the lens & the body until they come apart. Remove the old tacky glue. Replace with new glue - you'll have to Google what glue to use. Just be careful as the back of the light is still red hot long after the lens is cool. Remove all the electrics first of course. Or you can use a heat gun.
