Default Ok guys, need a lil help!

I posted earlier about my broken headlight assembly. It is beyond repair and I can't find one with xenon on eBay. The dealership wants $1013.26 for a new one (that's not gonna happen). Where do you guys get Jag replacement parts at a good price? Any online suggestions? Thanks for any help.

Good luck with that, used ones are what you get and theyre gonna break either in shipping or not too long there after. I would recommend filing on your insurance since potholes are a significant shock to break the internals. And get new assemblies. I gave up on trying to fix used ones cause they totally suck and have really cheap plastic that just broke again right around the repaired areas(XTYPES)

AutoParts Warehouse - $381 with shipping. Part# W0133-1657822

To put them in, you have to remove the front bumper cover. Its a pain in the ***, but it only takes about an hour. Be extra careful with the plastic retainer clips for the bumper cover inside the wheel wells, they're fragile.

One other thing. I had one broken light, and replaced it. Even though the old ones were clean, the new one looked so much cleaner it made the old one look so bad that I ended up replacing the other one too.

Yeah, that's the problem I am having. I can find halogens all day long online, but can't find hid's anywhere.

Yessss, exactly. Seriously though, I didn't think about filing it on my insurance but that is a darn good idea. Truthfully speaking, hitting a pothole or something is the only thing that could have done this because everything is broken inside the assembly.

Not suggesting dishonesty, this happens more than people know. I see them broken inside from accidents too and the body shops dont know to check and they dont get replaced.
