Headlight bucket replaceable?
I installed some new HID headlights so the beam is very distinct on where it is pointing directly at. When installing them, I realized the passenger side headlight bucket (what the aluminum ring for the headlight bolts on to) was cracked and broken. This is affecting the stability of the headlights and causing the beam to go everywhere. Is there any replacement part or quick fix?
With all the LED headlight options available now there must be tons of folks with stockers just sitting in a box.
I'm sure you could pick up a spare JK headlight off a forum member dirt cheap. Maybe try a wanted ad in the electrical classifieds? Not sure if L/R have different reflectors.
I guess you could technically heat up the gasket around the cover and remove the lens to glue in a new one. If you had a spare lens are wanted to try it.
They do it to install with those goofy Beemer led halo rings.

I'm looking for the actual ring that the headlight bolts on to. When you don't have the headlights in, it's the empty bucket that they would be placed over. It's how the lights are mounted, what they're mounted to, as how they're adjusted. Btw, I use those halos... And I think they're sick (see pic below)

I'm sure you can get a new bucket but most likely the dealer or a JY are your only options.
I broke mine trying to insert the horizontal adjuster screws... I searched on line but replacement baskets but only found the entire assembly for sale it was big $$$ considering the small part needed.
I used JB weld putty and molded it around the broken areas and it has held up great.

Someone backed into mine and popped 2 of the adjustment screws through the "bucket". It just kinda bounces around in there now and night driving sucks. Looking for a cheap,easy fix but it's looking more like a trip to the dealership.
