OK well it's actually 2 pieces cause there's one on each side...

Know what that's called? I need to order a new pair.

so what did you hit?

Told this countless times but here goes: It was a day after it snowed, but the snow had melted. It was also coincidentally the same day I had my system installed, BUT! the system was installed AFTER the accident. Basically some jackass stops and takes a left turn out of no where (should have had a baseball bat in my trunk and beaten the shithead). So the woman behind him slams her brakes and stops, and I slam mine, but due the sand on the road, I slide right into her going about 15 mph. Her car was virtually undamaged, only some paint scratches. My car absorbed all the damage, which is good for me money/insurance wise. We didn't report it and I gave her my name and number and she never called. This happened in February so I think I'm off the hook.

Uhm, as far as replacing them goes: I think I'll wait till soundlzd releases his headlights. No point of replacing them if I'm gonna get his projectors. I guess I better hold off on the custom grille since I'm gonna have to get a Gen 3.0 grille for those head lights (even though the 3.5 looks a lot better and is more visible). The Gen 3.0 grille is so hard to see that I might as well just leave it black.

wow.. i thought she woulda report it .. amazing.. maybe she just lost the # ...

.. but i'm interested in the projectors.. but my $$ wise is so low its not funny... credit card bills cell phone bills and DSL bill.. wow not to mention gas for the car.. hope the projectors are cheaper..

Nope, you can't get that part separately... it is part of the headlight and you have to buy the whole thing to replace it. Maybe try to glue it back together? Make a metal reinforcement plate and glue it back together.

It doesn't have to be fixed, I would just prefer to sometime. It wouldn't be worth buying new headlights JUST for that. But I'd probably buy projectors anyway. That part just helps support the headlights and grille, and its been broken for months. What I need to do sometime is take the bumper off and unbend soem piece of metal and remount the bumper (and paint it too), just to fix some minor aesthetics.
