Honestly, if you can fork over $400.00 for a used one, in very good condition, it's worth the time & money.

This isn't a fun DIY, and it's stressful.
it has already been replaced.

I want to open it up for science.
and to see if I can do it for maybe future headlamp mods.

but really I think that everyone with a broken headlamp because the dogbone cracked could fix their headlamp for like $10 worth of RC airplane linkage bits.

so it's just a broken headlamp sitting in my parts room.
