That really sucks, I know you must be frusterated and upset that your car got injured.

but however... Dude look at that picture. Thats freaking AWESOME. I'd totally leave it in there.

 

no that's the price for a set shipped. Check eBay I just looked before I posted this and I saw projector sets from 155 shipped

 

WELL...i am pissed off about it...
it DOES look pretty bad ***...but my turn signal and light dont work now w/ that damage...so i kinda need the new one..or ones...

 

ok cool i just went...thats a pretty good deal for the set of lights, i may just end up doing that...but im not sure if to spend $121 for one or just over $150 for both...plus a starter....since im planning on selling tha car soon..(like hopefully end of the month soon)..i guess it'd be a good selling point..."hey i just put in 2 new headlights...and a starter"... BUT its only worth like $3k-$3.5k...and i owe like $4k...and if i buy the lights and starter thats +/- $250...so i dunno wether to even bother and just tell em "hey this is what u can do..etc etc"

 

That is some funny ****. (Sorry about the damage though.)

 

yeah just leave the insurance out of it ... no need to clam this and have everyone's rate go up in a year or too ... that's the number one reason that the rate are the way they are now a days , because people clam stupid stuff that makes no since at all, its a head light, sure i would be pissed too but just go to a junk yard and get a new/used one. but when you do have to use the insurance you use them too the fullest that you can

Glass dude!!! GLASS!!!

 

you sure there glass? i know it says glass ... but when you look at the bottom of the light were its "glass" it actually looks like a formed plastic. get what im saying?

 

maybe its just me but...glass breaks easier...doesnt it..?
plus it chips and cracks..(think windshield..)

 

Well glass retains it's structural rigidity, and plastic doesn't (it "dries") and becomes brittle with time (not sure if this is theright word)...

What happened to OP might not have happened if he had glass headlights, or brand new plastic headlights.

Also, I've seen glass headlights on JDM cars quite often. For some reason, they only put crappy plastic on imports. Had the same problem with my Mx-3, had the same fix too...

 

all cars now have plastic hadlights...ive never heard of replacement glass lights(xept in that one posted here) for a car that already has plastic lights...
i think its kind of a law among car manufacturing stuff to have plastic lights...
and no plastic doesnt dry out and get brittle..(at least headlights...) they do oxide tho and get dull...
if i were to have brand new headlights when the cup hit, id have a broken new headlight...glass depending on how thick it may or may not be broken...but with the weight and speed that cup went in im SURE it'd break too...think of a full large soda cup of Mcd's...weighs what like 3...4 lbs..?...now add approx 90mph..(i was going about 45...i assume he was too...45+45=90...)...now do the math for whatever the energy that is and u get basically the equivalent of a sledge hammer going thru my headlight...

 

finally after 2 weeks of constant looking and asking around and calling places...found a headlight for $105-ish shipped from rockauto.com..(with a 5%off coupon i found online i got it for $106...)

hopefully i get it in and installed before i get pulled over....again...lol

 

YAY!!!
new headlight camin in the mail last night...hopefully it'll be in by the weekend....

 

WOO! new light installed....!!
i figured ill knida do a "how to" so if yall care look in the how to section...lol
now im all angry tho that one light is all brand new sparkly ad the other one is all hazy and old looking..grr..o well

ps. heres the "after"

UPDATE: ...well i tried making the how to and then when i attached the last picture the computer freaked out and the whole post went down the tubes...GRRR...
ill retry later..lol(if any1 cares that is...lol)
