A little cheaper than dealer pricing.....they might sell you a set for even less since you dont need the harness.

thats for TWO headlights.... sell your old good one to somebody else in need and you have two brand new headlights for right at the 500 dollar mark.

I did this after i bumped a deer last fall. It was just hard enough hit to push the plastic bumper cover in and break the mounting tabs on one headlight.. not a scratch on the bumper cover and didn't even knock the deer down.... yet still busted the light.

I'm assuming you have $500 deductible as well?

That is exactly what I was thinking. Comprehensive may cover the whole thing.

This was the first place I thought of. I have purchased a set of RS headlights for my 5th Gen Camaro from them. I may call Ofer to see if he has one light laying around first.

So did the deer just jump out and you slowed down enough to bump it or you weren't going that fast when it jumped in front of you??

I was just putting through the neighborhood about 15-20mph when the deer jumped out....i bet i wasnt doing 5mph when the impact happened. Trouble was found after i pulled the front fascia... there is no impact protection behind the corners only in the center. so the deer pushed in the fascia , broke the headlight mounting tabs and then the fascia popped right back out again. Like i said not even a crack in the paint......

Lesson learned? if you are going to bump anything with this front end it had better be right in the center or you will have broken headlight mounting tabs.... they are really vulnerable with this design.

Oh wow! Glad it wasn't any worst!!... you know I noticed almost every headlight for sale on eBay has broken tabs. Seems like it may be vulnerability issues there..

three mounting tabs for a 12-15 lb headlight is just not enough.... and the bottom one is right in line with fascia under the headlight for a nice clean tab guillotine if you bump anything with the corner.... you will see what i'm talking about once you get in there.
