EBAY head light Problem - SRT Forums

supermech21 · 08-09-2008, 07:35 PM

So my brand new headlights that have been on for a day and this is what i see. If you cant tell(it's impossible to take a photo and not get the reflection) but the piece that reflects the main head light came off. Not broke, i can fully see the tabs still intact, just came off. Any ideas on how to get back on? Could i put it in the oven and open it up? Let me know, and if so please provide a link or detailed info...

They looked so gooooood!

Seen this happen and I've warned of this in the past. Send them back. Unfortunately your replacement set will probably do the same....

really? This is a common problem? I had the same idea eric had get my finger in there and snap it back on or at least get a funky angled needle nose plyers to get it back on...

Yes happens quite often on the Eagel Eye brand headlights, which is what those are BTW.

Snapping it back in won't do anything but delay the inevitable as it will just pop right out again. You need to open the headlight, grap some JB Weld (for plastics) and apply a little bit to the piece then pop it back in the slot on the reflector. Let it cure and you should be good to go.

yea i've heard somethings about those headlights i wanted a set but i think since im gonna be doing a retro by haks instructions this winter...it would be better for me to just fab it myself to make them look like that..

I bought the same headlights for mine about a month ago and the only problem I am having is the trim around the headlight is already cracking and and breaking off! Anyone know where I can get just the headlight trim?

Do you mean the rubber trim? that you can get from the dealer or Jimmy from S&P can hook it up. i would use the factory ones from your stock headlights. OEM gaskets own.
