I had a minor accident and ended up cracking the headlight shell on my 2022 Sportage. The light itself is still working fine, but I’m struggling to find just the shell as a replacement. Checked eBay, but they only sell the full headlight assembly, which is way more than I need. Any ideas on where to get just the shell? I’m based in Vietnam.
Unfortunately, the headlight unit is sold as one whole assembly. The lens or shell doesn’t have a separate part number, so you won’t find it sold separately.
That’s how it is with most cars. Usually, you can’t just buy the shell, you have to get the entire assembly. Have you tried calling a Kia dealer’s parts department directly?
Yeah, you’ll likely need to buy the whole assembly. They don’t usually sell the lenses separately. It can be a bit pricey, unfortunately.
From what I know, shells aren’t available separately; the headlight assembly is sold as a complete unit. Maybe you can find a used one in a salvage yard.
You’re going to have to get the entire assembly if you want the shell. That’s just how they sell it.
If you’re okay with buying a used part, you might want to check out car-part.com. It lets you search salvage yard inventories across the US, so you might find what you need there.
