ill have to figure something out. as of right now my xj only has one headlight in it lol. I need to get both in before it snows again so I don't have to drive my a4 with summer wheels and tires in the snow

  1. Take a look at the other side so you know what size it it.
  2. Visit local hardware store.
  3. Buy similar spring.
  4. Get creative.
