now, as i recall, you cant seperate the headlight unit from the lense, is this correct???
or can you replace the lense and go from there.
any hints would be great,
thanks a lot

Hmm,thet were'nt confusing the lens with the 999 unit were they?
AFAIK the 998 comes as a complete unit,...even got the bulbs in it.
It is possible just to replace the glass lens.You need a headlight unit from a dealer/breaker that is broken on the opposite side that you want.Carefully cut around the glass with a craft knife and do the same with your broken unit.(mind the glass!)
Fit the replacement glass in with some black silicone.(available from Halfords)Then wipe some more silicone around the outside join to complete the seal.Give it a couple of days to dry fully before fitting to the bike.
You may want to get yourself some headlight protectors.Not the most atractive accessory,but they do save your lights.
