Default Headlamp Lens Replacement

Caught a rock on my headlight, cracked the lense. Light still works.
Anyone know where/how to purchase just the lense? The headlamp assembly is quite spendy just to replace the lense. This is for a 2010 Streetglide, stock headlamp assembly.

Many thanks!

I doubt you can do just the lense. My guess is it's glued in

Might be a good time to upgrade your headlight. Why spend big bucks just to replace the lens when you can get a better light for just a bit more?

Well, the lens and reflector (item 13) are a one piece unit, and can't be disassembled. That's as far down as you can go. If that's still too expensive for you, there's no point in recommending an expensive upgrade headlamp.

Put the feelers out on here. Lots of guys upgraded and probably have the part laying around collecting dust. Might be able to pick it up for song.

I just spent a week looking for an upgraded headlight because the factory one just plain sucks. If you do your homework you will find a good one for around $200. Also you may have luck looking for someone who has upgraded and looking to see the their factory unit. Good luck

Yep, lense and reflector is a single unit. Just seems ridiculous that it isnt sold separate without the H4 bulb. The headlamp assembly with bulb is about $100. If you can buy the bulb separately, seems you should/could buy just the lense/reflector separately. You will get no argument from me that unit is a pretty poor excuse for a headlight.

Agreed. Time to get a LED.
