this headlight had a scratched lens, a dead ballast, and dead adaptive motor....so I decided..FOR SCIENCE!!!

i was originally gonna post a real DIY on getting the amber out but it proved impossible so i took it outside and hulk smashed it into the ground. even at 400 degrees the goop BMW used still holds firm.
