Cracked headlight

Do you guys think I can just replace the shell of the right headlight, besides figuring out what’s wrong with it and why it won’t turn on. It was working fine even after it had rain but after a few days it just went out.

Thanks for responding but I haven’t checked yet but it recently started flickering on and off and it stayed on for like a day and now it won’t turn on.

If you're headlight was cracked, its likely that moisture got into the unit and shorted out one of the modules. Theoretically, you can replace the shell of the headlight but i am not sure that it will fix the issue and its also not a typical repair procedure (you will most likely get condensation inside the headlight due to the seal not being as good as the factory unit).

your problem is more than a crack headlight lens. You most likely have a bad LED or related electronics failed.
