Default jdm type r front-end (black housing) owners

anyone got a headlight they wanna sell?
a lot of you might've experienced the fog light cap in your headlight breaking off or shattering inside the headlight. just wondering if anyone knows of a good place that can open and reseal headlights REALLY well OR if anyone has an extra driver side headlight they wanna get rid of. i know it might sound stupid, but just i'm asking just in case anyone had his/her passenger side headlight broken and replaced both w/ new ones.. (and has the other side laying around)

I have a set that I'll sell, but it's particularly hard to find just a single headlight.

i actually did have just one a few years ago.. i ended up ebay'ing it and someone bought it.
try ebay..you never know.
if you're really desparate, you can buy a whole new one by itself... but for that price you can buy another used set.

i didn't know it can happen til it happened to me. <~ hhaha sounds so cliche.

You can't shake the pieces out through the socket hole? Takes time but it will save you some money, if it's even possible.

Chop stick with a piece of chewing gum stuck to it

Still looking for that headlight huh? Well im just using regular bulbs on mine now. No more taking chances with those cheap azz bulbs. You know whats funny though, my bulbs were the same ones I put in when I first did my conversion, 4 years ago. I still havent gotten my HIDs yet, but ill let you know when and if I do get em. I thought you woulda fixed yours by now though.

even if it shake it out, i still need to open it and replace the yellow cap of the headlight. my yellow plastic cap (the part that goes over the bulb) broke off.
