Thread: Broken headlight 2.2 Puma - fix or upgrade

Recently had a stone bust my Left hand headlight lens on my 2013 2.2 Puma. It's obviously not a sealed beam - light still goes.

Question 1 : How much should I expect to pay for a new lens? or do I have to get a whole assembly?

Question 2 : Should I just upgrade to something better while I'm at it... is it a good enough excuse? IF SO. What to get for a limited budget? Remembering I have no driving lights but don't do much night driving anyway and mostly it's just town driving I do at night.

Would I be correct in assuming that the PM678 - Wipac Crystal Halogen Headlamp Conversion Kit (pair) - left hand dip (UK and Australia) (from paddock spares)- is the original spec gear?

thanks for your help / ideas

last weekend I installed the traxide headlight wiring loom with a sealed 95/110w headlight upgrade. the difference is day from night. the old (1999 model TD5) lenses and globes were not much better than candles in a wind. I would expect the puma lights are better than my old lights but you will be happily surprised at the improvement in illumination.

picked up the lights off ebay. $105 delivered for the pair.

can't speak for HID, many others have proffered opinions on legality of a HID upgrade. then there is LED, if you have the money burning in your pocket.
