I am looking to pick up a driver's side high beam headlight (from a LHD car, not one of those strangely angled RHD ones either I'm sure some people have lying around,
 ). Mine has two rock chips in it (came with one when I bought it and I managed to get another one in the same light. go figure) one of which has a small hole in it and I don't want water getting in there to the wire leads. I would prefer it to not be yellowed and have all tabs still if possible!thanks!

you put the hole there on purpose?
I'm kind of looking for a stock headlight.

If the headlight was stock and didn't come with a hole, how is water getting inside it which necessitated drilling a hole to let this water drain?

As a note, and I'm sure it's not perfectly healthy for the electrics, but it doesn't necessarily mean harm when water hits the bulb directly. I've driven with pretty much no lens in rain, although this was not a headlight I planned on keeping. Probably still not best for the long run.

Back from the dead!
Just had a bunch of work done to my car and I want to replace the driver's side high beam still. Non-JDM please! PM is the key! -------------------- |

Garin is hooking me up with a headlight! Can't wait for it to arrive so I can install it!
