Default Bp non pop up Lights failure

i was around 170mph and the plastic light cover on the dirver side exploded hitting the windshield side mirror and hood and then maybe be almost 20 secs later crushed by the M5 that i spanked,hehehe. so now the lights are off but i am thinking of putting them back and would like to order the plastic piece not the whole light package, any help.
Thank u

Email/call the owner, Ernie I think, he seems to be pretty cool. May even get a discounted or free unit if it was a product falure. My vortex Ram air box busted on my C4 and they sent me a new one free.

That's not too good. Imagine what a popup light flying off at that speed might do! I don't have to worry though, not too many roads here in Staten Island where I could do 170 without bigger pieces of the car flying off.

That is my only fear about those lights ... they may not stick to the car at high speeds ... but it could have been a bad install...

Thanks for the advice Peach , but there aren't many camels around here, but if worse comes to worse i guess ducking down as far as you can would be the best option, because anything over the hood would be swept away by the big lipped beast

Vettvert,

My post was a joke :lol: . SIE to Brooklyn on a Sunday night is bumper-to-bumper from Bradley Avenue to the Verrazano Bridge. You should know that :yesnod:. That's why I said 1.70 mph and not 170 mph :eek: .

Roy.
