Two weeks ago I had a 3 day HPDE at VIR, about a 540 mile drive from home. Of course, a week before the drive I saw that the inner projector lens came unglued from the shroud in the driver side
of my Nine8Six lights. UGH, I didn't want to drive all that way, on the track and back home again with that lens rattling around inside. So I found some very used headlights on Craigslist - 2 halogen with orange turn signals and two litronics, the passenger side with a cracked lens and the driver side with some wiring issues. The Halogen driver side was useable although very cloudy and the inner lens very burned, but I put some bulbs in it and put it in my car and it worked.

Back home from VIR last weekend I started working on my headlght in need of repair. This weekend I got it all back together and everything still works! That really pleased me as there was some soldering involved which is not something I excel at. Tomorrow I should be able to install the outer lens with new Permatex silicone. After a day of curing I will install it and do the final aiming.

Over the winter I am going to make 1 set of spare headlights using the 2 amber units and the reflector bowls from the litronics, which I think I will be able to convert to bi-xenon projectors with some Morimoto minis.
