Headlight

Yes you can and it's sensible to do so ASAP to prevent any possible water ingress whilst you decide what to do next.

It might be possible to do a smart repair so have a look around the www.

As above the headlight is NOT a sealed unit so protect the small crack as has been suggested and have a look around for the next practical step which, as I've mentioned before, might possibly take the form of a smart repair.

The Jimi Fix for Generation 1 drive /
prop shafts originated on a Porker forum. Yes, it's a bit ugly but it works and, because it costs nothing, saves owners up to US $2,000.

One of the key reasons these forums exist is to find economical repairs.

If you don't like people suggesting them then don't read the thread. It's their choice how they spend their money . . . . . or save it.

You understand that you're an exception, an outlier?
Not everybody can or even wants to keep their daily driver in concourse condition.
I saw a T1 for sale recently for $4000. I don't think whoever buys that is going to spend $1300 on a headlight lens crack. He might even come on this forum looking for a less expensive way to fix it.

Luckily new T1 headlights can be bought for a quarter of the $1,300.

And a smart repair to a cracked plastic lens is less than half the price of a new T1 headlight!

My T1 had ****y foggy headlights when I bought it. I paid 850 for a brand new set and never thought twice about it.

Perhaps you should have done!

A guy who specialises in polishing helicopter screens polished and restored my *****y foggy T1 headlights in a hour or so for the equivalent of 100 bucks!

I totally understand and agree that expenditure for maximum safety is essential.

I need headlamps in good working order too and i was lucky that the internal chrome and the wiring were both still sound.

Mine was broken when I got the car.
I've heard a lot of people say their headlight tool is either broken or missing.
I keep a hex driver in the car.

Missing tool maybe, but broken?

It's the hex nut on the actual headlight bucket that can break off.
