    Need to buy smiley reflector

    I just got what I thought was a good CL deal on a set of Hella smileys. They had two broken adjusters, which turned out to be an easy fix. Unfortunately, when I disassembled them to get them cleaned up to install, I discovered that the passenger side low beam had had a major meltdown and the entire back portion of the reflector was a charred mess with no reflective coating at all. The drivers side was bright and the passenger side just barely lit up. I used a field expedient to make it less noticeable, (reflectix tape) or I'd have met the first cop that saw me driving at night. It is better, but not good.

    So, I need to buy just the rear reflector with the lamp fixture attached, the ellipsoid portion I have is fine. and is the same as the US ellipsoid anyway. I believe the 2 smiley reflectors are the same, and that just the ellipsoid part determines whether it is passenger or drivers side, though please correct me if I'm wrong!

    If anyone has a damaged smiley with a good reflector, I need one to finish this up. Thanks
