wayne,
where?????? ive been looking
i have been on to the hella site,but cant make any sense out of it,
and people on here seem to think spares are expensive !!!

Replacement lenses for them from Hella are expensive. Look on eBay for spares or repair lights, thats your best bet.
-
Bulbs can be bought for pennies, so that's not a problem.
For Hella's, probably the best thing you can do is either try to repair it yourself, if possible, or otherwise can spares from eBay.
Or you could sell these as spares/repair and buy a new set, which won't be the cheapest option, lol

Turns out they aren't smoked unforutately.
I can however do two things, put it in the oven and take the glass off, you can then strip the headlight down, take the outer lamp out and put that in the oven, take the glass off and put this glass on, or I can take the glass off this, spray it black and put it back together.
Although my lense may have a screw holder snapped so as long as you are confident in changin the glass (I guess it's pretty unusable in that state anyway) you can have this glass.

what a top man you are..
i was a bit unsure how the glass came off....do you have to put it in the oven then?????
i have part stripped it down,but i have not been able to get the glass off yet.(what cant it just be held in with a screw??)
as for what to do with yours,whichever is easier for you ,is good with me, im just thankfull that you can help me out at all !!!!
cheers again

The glass is sealed on, you put it in the oven to soften it up, then slowly pull it off.

im going to try this now lol lol

well that's not as easy as i thought.
i broke a bit of the light getting the bloody thing out.
then stuck it in the oven, with no joy.
think im gonna give up on these lights ,and put them down to a bad loss(and 1 less xmas pressie :sad: :sad:)
