    I actually chose to use my old corded drill over my cordless because it was higher RPM.

    That's not what you'll get!

    That part number will not buy you a replacement lens. Even though the illustration clearly shows it as the lens and that used to be what you would get when you ordered that P/N, now when you place an order with that number you will get the rubber gasket that attaches to the outside of the headlight assembly.
    I know this because I placed an order with this p/n and that's what I got.

    I think Isuzu was losing too much money providing the replacement lens, instead of selling the headlight for $400.

    This stuff might be another option. I used it to build a plexiglass enclosure/mounting platform for some audio equipment, and the stuff is still holding after three years.

    I know a big concern for our headlights would be whether it ended up drying clear, and it says it does in the product description, but I personally think that depends on the specific formulation of plastic of the item. It worked well and dried clear on the plexiglass (dark smoked) I used, but no guarantee. If nothing else, it would be a step towards preventing the crack from getting larger. If it dried perfectly clear, even better.
