Default B5 Headlight GRRRR!!!!

Bolluks!

Somy passenger side headlight went out.
So i look at it and the back piece (plastic cover that latches) isnt there any more.... and it was raining out so im assuming water got in there and shorted it out.

Now my question is. what are the HID's going for plus that plastic piece or is it just as expensive to pick up a whole used headlight?

Im angy hahah

Pull it all apart, take a hairdryer to all of it, make sure it's totally dry & see if it works.

I had the same thing happen, the cover popped off, & water got inside. The light didn't work, after it was dried out, it now works perfectly.
