Default Headlights

I have a red 97 850r, with the front driver headlight glass diffuser broken, I believe a rock hit it and broke it. Has anyone had issues with OEM headlights should I just replace it with a standard OEM diffuser one from the junk yard or should I get a aftermarket headlight ? And should I replace just the diffuser or the whole unit ?

A lens from the Junk Yard would only be like 3 or 4 bucks, why not go that route

well if your lens was just cracked you can reuse your original seal..
Its messy but you can always use Silicone sealant and make your own seal.

if not contact Max rossi or Mike Rivera at FCP. they should be able to get you one for a fair price.

I lost the previous seal. I ended up also using epoxy to fill a chip in the glass.
