    Default Busted headlights

    I was lucky enough to have a snow plow throw ice at me & take out my driver's side head lights & parking light. I will be replacing the entire headlight lens/reflector assembly. Anything to know before I start or is it pretty straight foward? I don't have my Bently's with me. It looks like the attachment points are ok, just the lights are broken. I am getting new light assemblies & bulbs and new lens for the parking light. Glad I have the garage.

    Thanks

    Default warm up the garage, and have a heat gun or hot hairdryer handy...

    to get the plastic cups off the balls on the adjusters. if you're not careful, you will break them. They need to be warm and pliable to remove...cold=brittle=broken.
