Mother F#@&$*!!!! Is this fixable??

Well... Some lowlife a$$hole can't park... and I pay for it. Can this be fixed or will it have to be replaced? I have seen ya'll do some amazing stuff so please advise...

Sorry for the high res, I thought it was important to see it high quality.

Looks like a replace. The scratches might be able to be buffed but the light is sealed so you won't be able to fix the internals.

Damn; I would be pissed, but happy. Just think you can replace that with two bolts. There is no paint involved.

Look up Harley #356 for the best price on a new one.

That SUCKS bigtime. It would be in your best interest to just replace the lens. Bite the bullet and try to get over it---I know it sucks---- But the longer you look at it, the more it will bug your ***, friggin people don't have any respect for anybody else's property.

Sorry for your chitty luck

Most honda headlights and tails can be baked in the oven and it releases the glue......any idea if this would work on our lights?

You can get the scratches out, but seperating the two halves to repair the inner lense is tough.

Thanks guys... unfortunately, the paint did not get away scott free:


(I could not got a good pic of the scratch but it is fairly minor) wow.. my truck is chiny, my neighbors yard is the reflection.


It's about 4 inches long, the scratch that is.
