Hello,

My vespa model is GTV 250ie 2011.

I were turn on the switch for long time until my batterry is empty. I cannot start at that time so I recharge the battery and it worked.

I did not notice that the headlight glass/protector got damaged from the event.

My question is can I only replace the headlight glass/protector? or do I need to replace all headlight assembly? i.e. https://www.scooterwest.com/headlight-assembly-vespa-gtv-639846.html?srsltid=AfmBOopJfirCXZByZO_HkcmKQzxR9E27mfHBWvDCWgcWvLDGj230qLEp

Headlight covers and reflectors can both be damaged if using halogen bulbs without cooling air going over the light. My old BMW halogen bulb singed the reflector in a way that it was a potential MOT failure.

I note your reflector also looks to be damaged at the top.

Here it is for a good price: https://scooterpartsco.com/210-vespa-c-801_802/headlight-for-vespa-gtv-p-7678.html You might consider switching to a LED bulb so it won't happen again.
