Default Driver side headlight lens (damaged housing okay)

Thanks to the guy in front of me I now have a cracked driver's side headlight. If anyone has a spare lying around with a damaged or cracked housing I would be interested in it for the lens portion.

I would also be interested in the complete assembly. Any condition will be considered (other than cracked).

Thanks!
Ryan

You know the lens don't really come off with out major surgery? But it can be done.

Yeah... I have never done it myself, but I have a friend that has disassembled Chevrolet lights with a heat gun and then resealed them several times. I figured it would be worth a try considering how expensive these are, but then again - it may just be a failed experiment.

I know it is probably blasphemy to suggest, has anyone tried to retrofit a Chrysler 300c headlight assembly into the Crossfire? Their dimensions appear to be similar. I bet the angles are different - and obviously the mounting hardware, but if it lined up with the body I bet it wouldn't look too bad.

WOW! Ryan I hope you are right. The headlight assembly for the 300C is quite a bit cheaper. Let us know if that will work.

That post was from nearly three years ago, what’s the betting it was a no go.
