How was the lens held on?

thanks for the insight! $50 is very VERY do-able for a lens swap

Gotcha, I'm not sure how I feel about 3m tape holding any lens in place, i mean.... it looks great but how long will that hold with the heat from the HID bulbs? Thanks for the reply though!

thanks endlesslex! Also, what method did you use when taking the headlight apart? oven+prying or Heatgun+prying? And what did you use as a reglue?

gotcha.... good to know as that won't damage anything especially the electronics inside the ballast and etc.

I was thinking of doing this so I could clean up my headlight lens
