Option 1. Cancel the other side, get fresh xenon bulbs, love & polish the lens, and end it there with angel eyes - they are illegal anyway lolll

Option 2. Get a new set of bezels (so they match!) when this guy who wrote they would be available in spring have them again. Forgot his name suddenly

(#2, you keep the existing hardware, just swap the bezels over (need to reopen the headlight) get on with a brand new shinny set

If you go the #1 route, ensure that the little led ballast is not fried before. I could simply express you one of those and voila.

LED sux (sorry). They forever will, hate the thing and not exactly sure why. Personally never had too much luck with any led - those I've owned anyway. And yes, even my Made in Germany led flashlight toasted during a trek-out Friday late evening far-far-up in the HuangShan Mountain. How more kewl can you be when this poo happens while trekking with friends lolll

From the list of lighting systems available today, personally I prefer fire - it just works everytime

PS, Tony, you want a new set of xenon bulbs while in there, been a while (just did mine a few weeks ago). Instant noticeable improvement
