Nedd a new spotlight
It looks like my hood caught my driver's side spot light and put a little dent in the chrome housing. I'm going to take it off if I can't find a new one for a decent price. Anybody know where I could get a new light? I don't need the whole thing, just the housing if possible. The only one I can find lists for $500+ and that's for the handle and spotlight. Thanks.

Little dents can be fixed. Talk to a plating shop.

Re: Nedd a new spotlight
There has to be someone near you that straightens chrome or stainless moldings.
They should be able to remove the dent in your spotlight. .

Re: Nedd a new spotlight
I took mine off, then apart, then delicately hammered it out. Isn't perfect, but I can live with it. I would rather leave it off, but then I have to figure out what to do with the ugly hole in the A pillar. I guess I will plug, weld and paint it this winter if I decide not to put another light on.

I didn't notice a model number on it, but I will look again. Thanks Ggmac.

Re: Nedd a new spotlight
Little dents are sometimes best left alone. Sort of like a badges of honor. Rumored to help prevent bigger dents.
