Default Blinded by the headlight

Someone hit my baby and broke the driver's side headlight and the headlight washer. Does anyone know what I should purchase to replace the light and washer? The lights still work. Also a good place to purchase what I need. See picture.


Also need side marker.

Bassmania, I would try Ebay first and savage yards second. Looks like a little body work needed.
Do you have comprehensive?

See my headlight lens replacement story here...but it was just the lens, not the washer.

You can indeed get the lens only. The repair shop that you spoke with probably doesn't know that the headlight lens and the headlight assembly are two separate components, both of which make up half of the headlight. Here's a link to my post for the repair I did on my passenger side lens. I got my lens from DCRautoparts.com Go to their website and send Dave Roche an email and tell them Marvin Miller sent you. They have my pictures and step by step on their website as well. https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x...headlight+lens

Marvin, maybe my post was not clear...the dealer sold and installed just the lens. It was only the independent body shop that thought the lens was not available separately.

I'm checking EBay for the part. Thanks Marvin.
