    Broken Hello ellipsoid? can it be fixed?

    So i have a set of Hella ellipsoids that have a crack in one front glass and the other is completely busted out. Is there an option to replace the glass or is this a complete assembly deal?

    Anyone removed and replaced the glass?


    Thanks.

          i've replaced the glass from one projector to another. Just heat in the oven until glue is ply-able, and carefully separate the glass from the housing. I resealed using RTV sealer. Has worked wonders the last 2yrs.

                I picked up 5 glass lenses from E34s at the pick and pull the other day. 2 for me and 3 for ??? My question is, why do these just fall off of E34s and are a PITA to get off E30s? future, PM me if you want to buy any, $10 each. Chrome rings included.
