Following up on last nights retread incident, you can see that the splitter took most of the hit (I swerved left to avoid the 3 ft section as much as I could):



That popped out the DRL and the bulb too!:





Bulb with melted plastic -- yep, gotta replace it:



What the bulb did to the shield and deflector (not to mention my finger damn it):



Shield:



DRL Housing:





So unbolted the front of the splash shield, verified the DRL was ok and installed new H11's on both sides.

I filled the burn hole with clear silicone until the new parts arrive...

Lucky it was the only damage and would have been zero if the bulb didn't fall out -- put some auto body tape on the DRL connector just to hold it in place next time...

Just goes to show no matter how careful you are and take care of things, life will give you a reality check and let you know -- you ain't 'sh**' ;o)
