I was hauling ass last night and a gust of wind caught my headlight cover and tore the bitch right off. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683358.gif Everytime I get ready to upgrade some little BS like this happens. Can a **********er catch a break?!?!?!?! Now I got a hole in my the front of my car and I'm lookin super getto. Any advice?

use some silicone caulk on the back of the cover where it meets the housing.

jackdhammer 04-14-2003 01:46 PM

Would love to but it's somewhere on the 405. Do I have to buy a whole new light?

rxtacy 04-14-2003 01:50 PM

oh, ic. it's just the cover right? i think your local mazda could order a new cover for ya unless you find one from a parts car.

new covers are not expensive

Get a new one from www.mazdaformance.com . I've

lost both of mine in the past. Yea, it sucks to drive around without them.

the covers cost roughly 62.00.....why not go ahead and get a vented feed headlight cover....if it is the passenger one.....



the same thing happened to me, and the cover shattered my windsheild.....i got a c west headlight kit 2 weeks later.....

Hey that sucks. Happend to me once in my FC. Also, i dunno if that has ever happend to any of you.



But i lost an entire Sunroof once. When i first got my car the sunroof was badly rusted... we got it open for the ride home. Than at about 95 on Interstate 75 it flew off. Nearly hitting a van behind me. I pulled over and picked it up. But it was not salvagable.





When you get your new headlight cover use silicone to attach it. Along with the mounting screwes. you wont have a problem after that.

Great idea on the vented cover. Didn't even think about it. Since I can't afford the sleek light kit thats the next best thing I guess. Good lookin out. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif

I have at least one of the covers. Which side do you need?

I have a ksp, and enlarged the opening to elt more air in. Don't know if it works, but I figure it might let some air into my filter which it right there comming off the turbo.

The passenger side.



I have that Crooked Willow intake(kind of getto) and the cover comes off. would that be a good combo with the vented light cover?
