Somehow managed to smash the left front headlight on my MY00 SIT. Phoned my local dealer and he wants £195 + £25 to fit it!

Is it a sealed unit and is this the normal price to pay for one? Can I get one cheaper somewhere else?

RJC,

Dont know if it's any help, but Scoobysport replaced my smashed headlight (UK MY00) for £85.00 when it was last in for a service.

Cheers for the links. ScoobySport sell second hand lights for £85 compared to the dealer list price of £190 new.

And once you've replaced it, invest in some covers! They are only about £39.99 for the pair from the Scoobynet shop.
