I received the Driver side JDM Headlight in the mail recently. I'm in a bit of trouble.
The headlight was broken in the shipping process. It's not terrible, but it's broken none the less. The very corner of the lens by the marker bulb broke, but I've glued it to the best of my ability for now.
Another problem with the headlight was that the yellow bulb capsule was extremely corroded. Actually, everything was corroded... including the chrome refectors;
So... I took the headlight apart to try and fix it. I placed the yellow capsule in a bowl of vinegar over night and wouldn't you know it, it stripped the yellow right off the capsule! I've ordered some yellow glass stain to see if I can replicate the original color to try and fix it. I've noticed these capsules are not the same as the capsules in any other Honda's I've seen, so replacing the capsule is not really an option. Here's where I am with this project:
Stripped capsule (oops):
