Email me.. I have some spare in stock for sale.

Or you may just take out the headlight and duck tape the torn portion of the rubber pieces...

Don't use duct tape! Go pick up some clear silicone sealant from advanced auto parts, auto zone, ect. Seal the entire thing, just be careful not to get any on the visible part of the headlight.

use sheetmetal to make a cover that can fit over the back of the light.. just liek the rubber one that was there.. use jbweld/ silicone to make the cover.. use the silicone to coat the metal so it wont rust out.. or paint it.. and use the silicone where needed to make a tighter seal..

sheetmetal is my new MOD. friend.. its easy to work with i fyou go to homedept and get those scissors that can cut sheetmetal . 9.99

Not true, the silicone black and clear sealants are still pliable after drying. I've used it many times on headlights.

The headlight is permanently attached or the silicone itself is permanent?

the cover needs to be removeable. I dunno if anyone's ever seen what the back of a cefiro headlamp looks like.
