You can replace the lamp with a sealed beam lamp, or go to the dealer, order a new lens and open your wallet wide and say Ouch!

This is what you want... Sylvania H6024XV Xtra-Vision Headlight
Inexpensive and much brighter than the OEM bulb and reflector!

Muchas Gracias
Thanks alot, of course something had to put a damper on the wonderful weather. I was planning on ordering one of the zenon bulbs from NB in the near future, can i just plug that into the sylvania lamp?

Get the recommended sealed beam! I will when my bulb burns out!! A blessing in disguise
The stock light SUCKS!!!!! A small investment in safety! Better now than later!!

No... the Sylvania light is sealed. But after you use it, you'll likely find you no longer need the xenon bulb.

you can also pick one up at any auto parts store and not have to wait for it. They're everywhere.

Lamp
I got the xenon bulb ftrom NB & it made a 200% difference! The sealed beam is better tho!
If a break happend- or the xenon bulb goes- The sealed beam it will be!! The xenon REALLY did make a difference tho!
