Hey guys,

Quick question - Is it possible to buy replacement lenses only? ie. not the whole assy?

Cheers,
Dean

no you cannot

Perhaps you could try for a Wrecker with a pranged Parra, where lens survived but brackets or rear of parra housing have been minced?

Its a long shot, but might allow you to get a lens - use the "oven" method to unglue lens and transplant onto your light.......

I'd love to see an accident where that happened, I don't think it would be possible in a three dimensional universe lol

I think finding a headlamp unit with bolt-brackets and locating lugs cracked or broken would be reasonably common...... finding a Wrecker who thought that slight damage **devalued** a Parra would be like getting into the 4th dimension!! Things like roo hits and so on can damage panels around and under lights, and the ploycarbonate lenses have a bit of flex possible (two piece glass parras are another matter).

Years ago, in a GJ Sigma universe, a Wrecker just would NOT sell me a lens that had a barely visible crack (neither would he reduce price or give it away - he ONLY sold straight bits.... go figure, it would've done well for me).

Anyways, OP can have spare part for about $575- each side, or lights off Fleabay for $200- upwards, usu the pair.
The one-piece parras I bought from E-Bay had slight damage (curiously invisible to the seller until the deal was done) but they do the job, and were a fair buy at the time, not a bargain but not top-price either.

When that bird hit me last year and pushed me into another car the brackets on the back of the parras broke.. I didnt even know lights where damaged until seen the rear brackets. Not a mark on the lights. Didnt even know they had been hit.

Looks like I would be sanding for a while, but the looks of things the cracks are about 1/2 a mm deep, all around the lense (sun damage I suspect).

So there are cracks in the plastic too..?? they just looked smokey to me.. Typical of older lights..

If you look up real close, you can see thousands of tiny cracks.

Maybe I should take a belt sander with high-grit sandpaper to them :)
