And that was clean water, never mind flood water with who knows what in it.

Yes. I was just looking at those damaged headlight pictures and the yuck that is visible on the outside of the housing.

It might be worth it to try to refurbish a headlamp that's no longer in production / classic / whatever, regardless of the quality of the outcome or the effort involved, but in this case... toss them in the trash.

You’d have to remove the lens. Aren’t they glued on? I wonder how just that lens applied to an original GM light, if reflector surface good would work. Not sure they are exactly the same size, could be though.

UPDATE:

We still have no stock of headlights.

We're still awaiting news on the headlight's availability.

Carlos attempted to contact the Arteb sales rep we've used in the past, but that man is no longer with the company.

Carlos was given the contact information for current sales rep (new guy, same role) but is playing telephone tag.

MEANWHILE, Carlos tore his Achilles tendon (90% tear) playing soccer and will be meeting with an orthopedic surgeon to access his options.
