    As Billboost37, can confirm New York City pot holes are some of the nastiest in the country. One time Bill, visited the city he lost a fog light. Today I lost a headlight. I was driving on the Brooklyn Queens Expressway when I suddenly hear a dragging sound. I ask my buddy sitting on my passenger seat and he turns to tell me I just lost a headlight and I was dragging it! I couldn't believe it. I pulled over to the shoulder as soon as I could and saw the carnage. Apparently both tabs in the bracket decided to break when I hit a pothole. The only thing holding the headlight was the wiring as the capsule dragged on the pavement. I grabbed it off the ground and zip tied it back in place. Thank god I always keep some zip ties in the glove box.

    I guess that means i'll be buying some stockers to put back in. :cry:

    What is a good place to buy replacement stockers from??

    Nope can't do autogeek. It is hard to see from the picture, but in the damaged area there is a piece of the capsule completely gone. I wish it was just scratched up. That would be repairable.

    True they do sell nice looking oem's for our car! but you wanna be sure to install right away so you can make sure the corners don't fog up on you,in any case if one or both of them do they are really good at replacing them.
