Just got the new headlamp lenses fitted and just put some new bulbs in.
Noticed one wasn't as bright (fitted the bulbs in the dark). One looking through the lens I notices that the metal 'hat' that sits infront of the bulb is missing the top (that is just infront of the bulb tip).

Its pitch dark outside so wondered if anyone could tell me whether this is a seperate part (the hat) that can be fitted or is it part of the reflector?

Could anyone provide me with the relevent part number so I can ring the dealer tomorrow morn?

Thanks
Toby.

It will be part of the reflector, the purpose is to reflect the light back on to the main reflector, was it there before you had the new lens/glass fitted.

Toby, the reflector is part of the headlamp assemblyand is provided with it - not as a separate. Sorry!
