A few years ago I bought the H4 headlight kit from Mike @ Mike's Montes.
I just noticed that the passenger side high beam must have caught a flying rock and punched a hole right in the middle of the glass.
The light still works,but I need a new headlight.
Does anyone know where in Canada I might be able to get just a replacement headlight ??

Guy,
Depending on brand, I think that factor would determine how easily a replacement can be obtained. For instance if it's a Hella, you can pretty easily buy a single replacement. Honestly, I would contact Mike, being that you initially bought them from him.

That was my first thought too Jack.
But,when you factor in the difference in the US/Canadian dollar,shipping and customs fees,it gets expensive.
Thats why I want to see if I can get anything in Canada first.

Ah, That's a good point, Guy. Shipping can easily make or break a good deal. Perhaps Steve might have a solution.

Hella is international. There are knockoffs on fleabay. Maybe get a Hella kit and keep the Mike's as a spare?
Now, that might be the way to go. I have Hella H4's on my car now and one of the lenses is a bit foggier than the other. I had considered buying one replacement, but I do like the idea of buying a fresh new pair.

I was looking up to see where you can get H4 Hella lenses....amazon.ca has no stock.. :unsure:

I use these for my high beams, I like the beam for the high beam with this lense over the H4 lense. I removed the adapter for the H1 bulb. Without the adapter the H4 bulb fits and I just bend the rabs to keep the bulb in place.
