Cracked headlamp lens on your 98 EV?

Full lens and reflector replacement from Guzzi was about $250.
Rumor had it that an older BMW possibly used the same setup... Apparently a 750 or 900 BMW uses this same
two-piece lens/reflector arrangement. They had the lens/gasket in stock and sold it to me for
$29. Such a deal.

The lens had the same BOSCH part number cast into it as my original:
BOSCH 2 305 602 005
(look in the lower right corner, about 5 o'clock position.)

The lens came in a BMW box with an original BMW part number of:
63 12 1 243 541

Pop in installation.Happy and back on the road after dark.
