So the question is, can this part be replaced without buying a whole headlight assembly? Seems this part can come off but want to see if anyone knows anything about it.
To be honest, I have messed around with the HID's bulbs many times but thank GOD this never happened to me. The only issues I have had are with bulbs needed to be flickered on and off a few times to turn on. Made me go back to the stock bulbs. I prefer it this way now as it does not cheapen the look of the car at night as compared to after market HID bulbs.
