Title: Headlight
Post by: Baldy on October 12, 2011, 09:27:33 pm

I have Xenon headlight's unfortunately I hit a deer on the way to work,

Luckily only damage is the o/s headlight washer cover has disappeared and the o/s headlight brackets have broken, the light itself is intact, I just cant get it to sit right as the holding brackets have shattered.

what I need to know is, can I buy just a headlight surround (incorporating the brackets) or do I need to buy a whole light unit,

either way any idea's of cost's?

I need to work out wether to claim or just suck it up and pay myself.
