Passenger Headlight Cover Options?

I was looking for a used passenger headlight cover and havent come up with anything. They are 85 new from mazda.

That got me thinking though, about aftermarket ones. Are there aftermarket replicas that are cheaper?

Or can you suggest something classy looking that allows for air to flow to the intake better? Pics would be great.

Thanks!

Trust me you do not want to buy a used headlight cover. Given the age of these cars the likely hood of it already having small cracks that will soon turn to fully cracked one is quite high.

For what it's worth I think $85 is very reasonable considering how much everything is on this car. Sorry I do not have any advice of cheaper alternatives. There are aftermarket ones available but I don't think they are less than $85 usd.

i know the headlight lid is an odd part to wear out, but it is a wear part. just buy a new one.

The aftermarket ones fit like crap too. $85 for a part that funky and primed and ready for paint is a steal.

The passenger one always goes first because people tend to lean on it while working on the engine. It breaks the tabs over time, then it flies off the car. Moral of the story: Don't lean on it .
