bmw epsolloid lens came off

Post by wilderb »

I was working on my epsolloid lights for my 620 today and I noticed one of the glass lenses was comming off so I just finished pulling it off, I now need to re attach it to the light, any Ideas of what I could use to glue the glass back?

I would guess an epoxy would be the key

I've seen glass lenses available on eBay. I don't recall them being factory Hella, but they'd work well for a replacement of a hazy OE part.

With the prices having dropped through the floor on eBay and the abundance of sets in the junkyards due to Cash for Clunkers (did Canadia do that too?), it migh be cheaper/better to just get a new/used set.

They are hard to find up here, and ridiculously expensive compared to your American JYs.
I'll go browse ebay, thanks
