Replacement headlight

Post by Beemingallover » Wed Mar 13, 2024 10:19 am

The o/s headlight on my 2006 ZMR E85 is now getting condensation inside it and I will need to replace it. Anybody know a source for a replacement at reasonable cost?
Thanks.

New M owner here and I had the same issue. I replaced the rear covers and gaskets which seal it after bulb replacement. In hindsight I could have disassembled, cleaned, flipped and lubed the OE gasket and been fine. But they were only ~$25 each.

There is an access window in the fender liners.

Thanks, that's good info, I'll have a look at that. I called at a garage and they said I would need to replace and not possible to repair
