Needed - F10 non-LCI front left headlight adaptive

EDIT - No longer needed - found a work-around

Hi - my driver's side headlight lost its seal and is inundated with water.

I need a driver side headlight, non-LCI. Also needs to be the correct one for adaptive xenon headlights.

Thank you-

Thanks - I basically followed a few YouTube vids for removing bumper, removing headlight. I pulled it out and it quite literally drained about 6 ounces of water onto my desk. The control board was a little fried with corrosion on some contacts. I grabbed a new one off of Amazon from a non-OEM seller. Worked like a charm. Dried the headlight out inside by just letting it sit inside a warm room. I ended up running a bead of silicone all around the contact point between the lens cover and the headlight body. I then redid the electrical tape around the electrical clamps, as it had come unraveled and there was water also spilling out from the connector. So far, so good. However, I see a slight bit of condensation in the headlight this morning. I fear I didn't really fix the issue, but all is good for now.
