    $214/ea!! Wowowowow!!! Auto wreckers here I come!

    Actually they seem to be a pretty common aftermarket crash part, there are some on Epay for 70 bucks or so.

    They are so expensive from the dealer because... Well it's from a dealer and it's a headlight assembly. Most of the expensive ones on eBay are the same. The brackets are of no use to us do the best way to get them is without anything but the light itself

    Thanks for this sharing this upgrade. Does it matter where the 3 wires connect when adapting the pigtail or is it just basically as long as the 3 existing wires mate to the new 3 wires?
