My DDE Stupidity!!!

Yesterday I took out my 2003 headlights to adjust the DDE's and to paint the housing black. It turned out perfect, but somehow I managed to snap one of the DDE's on the driver's side. It was the inner one closest to the grill. Has anyone had to replace one of these? I don't need the whole set, just that one. I'm emailing Umnitza right now to see if I can get a replacement, just not sure how much it's gonna be. This Blows!!

Thanks,
p

Yeah I had to do that once!!! after someone hit my car!! It broke my headlight but I was able to salvage one off of the broken headlight. Matt at Umnitza is pretty good with his customers you should have no problem getting another one.

Yeah, I'm sure they can work something out for you. That does suck the big one though.

I did this as well awhile back. Glad to see I'm not the only one. Ring was around 25 IIRC.
