Last summer I was washing my 2518 and the lens on the headlights fell off. I noticed on of the tabs was missing. I just put it back on and it seemed to hold. Thought nothing of it. While I was mowing the lens popped off and I ran right over it and crushed it.
I called the dealer and asked if I could get a new lens and he said it was all one piece. The assembly cost about $55. Should I replace it?
I mean it's not like I use the headlights which never seem to work most of the time any way. It just more for appearance.:confused:

When the 2000 series were introduced, the headlight lens were noted for falling out/off. CCC soon tired of replacing these on warranty and went to the "sealed" type of light/lens assembly. You have to buy the whole light lens/bezel assembly now unless you find a used lens or one for sale on e-pay.

BTW....The price of the lens/bezel assembly has dramatically fallen in the last 3 years. It WAS well over $ 100 at one time.......

I've seen these on Ebay a lot for a good price.

Thanks for the input. I will most likely have it replaced when I have it serviced this winter.:)
