Hey people!!! i was wondering if its possible to change the cover on my passenger headlight...by cover i mean the clear plastic or glass that covers the headlight...

my current passenger headlight is cracked ...when i wash the car it condensates on the inside and somehow theres a dead bug (fly) inside by the turn signal...and a little dirt...its not just cracked...its got a hole on the far right side when looking straight at the car...and a crack that goes from the hold across the front where the foglight is...

i just need to know if i can replace that piece...and where i can get that piece if i can replace it...


(and yes i know now would be a good time to get those JDM MR Headlights...(I WANT THEM SOOO BAD!) but i dont wanna spend $700+ on a cosmetic mod...so if it can be fixed i will fix it!)

thanks for reading...sorry its sorta like an essay...

 

BUMPPP for some assistance!!!

 

How about just trying to get a used passenger headlight. It may be less of a headache than trying to replace just the lens.

 

Why don't you call a Mitsu. Dealer. I wonder the same thing. I wanna know if they sell just that too. lol.

 

new headlights at stealership cost $1000+ for ONE headlight!!!
i tried looking for just the passenger headlight...that didnt work...so now im gonna try a more cost efficient way of fixing it...

i see that people bake the cover off to paint their headlights...so im guessing it can be done...but where can i get the cover?! can we get evodave in here on this? or maybe dafarmer? anyone?...

is anyone selling a pair of headlights w/ HIDs and Fog lights? PM ME!

 

I have an extra set but I'm going to do the tsx projectors mod on them. But how much are you willing to pay for a set with hid and fogs.. ?

 

i dont even know what to offer...

 

check the for sale section for a passenger side head light.

post in the aprpopriate sub forum (i.e not show and shine for a "advancded interior/electrical" topic"


all b/s aside.....


yes if you can/are:

find that part from the dealer (not sure if its sold individually or not)

capable of baking & splitting the headlight open yourself.

confident in your skills with silicone.


can wait 24 hours for the silicone to dry (have another vehicle to use in the meantime)


so yes it is perfectly feasible to exchange the outer lens cover, if the part is available for less than 400 bucks. ounce you get any where near that mark just buy a used set or try and hold out for a single one to come up. i would also recommend searching the part out section of the for sale sub forum and look for a evo with most the damage on the opposite side, and send him a pm. that would be the best / cheapest / easiest /least labor intensive way to go.



ps. is that your lime green evo?

and was it ever @ Kennedy transmission in MN?

 

yeah its my lime green evo...haha...im not sure...i bought it in Illinois...i know it came from Minnesota though...i went to mitsu to check my warranty information...ill post some pics of her when i get some time...i got only a couple mods...ill add them to my sig next...

 

bumppp

 

Yeah im in the same boat someone put my headlight covers in the trash. I have to buy used headlights now. Its not a good thing when i got a massive build going on.

 

best bet would be to check ebay. I saw one go for $150 shipped. Couple guys on the forums have offrd passenger side at good prices. Put it in your signature

 

good idea...i sorta want evo IX headlights instead of the VIII...like i said if i had more spending freedom i would definetly buy the jdm headlights...

bump...
is anyone selling just the headlight cover?
