G63 Headlight Glass Cover
Hello,

I just realized I have a small tiny hole in my headlight glass cover (most likely a rock caused it). Is there a way to change just the glass cover on the headlight for the 2013-2018 models? Or does the entire headlight needs to be replaced? Thanks !

Probably not the answer you want to hear, but I’m pretty sure entire headlight will need to be replaced.

Entire headlight... FWIW my wife's 2013 ran for two years with a similar hole in the glass and never had any issues, even in rain.

Glass is separate.

Working on my secondary air pump now.

How do I know it comes off? Because shortly after this photo mine fell off LOL. Luckily landed in that grass patch.



This company seems to sell an aftermarket replacement.

It's pretty easy to swap I'd replace it asap as it may run fine, but getting water in the xenon light housing will cost you more in the long run and isn't worth the risk.

Held on by friction and a gasket. No tabs on mine.

I am sure that it's separable, but the question is if you can just buy the glass cover itself.

It's also a good idea to protect the glass covers with something like XPEL or another film to absorb rock chips.
