Anyway; a headlight housing..yes; HOUSING, not the whole assembly but the HOUSING (which consists of a bowl shaped piece of plastic that had been painted chrome inside and a clear plastic cover glued on top of it) cost almost 800 EUR and that was for 1, yes ONE not two and of course now that we are at it OF COURSE that is EXCLUDING labor for having it replaced and alligned. Not to metnion the tranny went just before he sold it, and a new tranny cost more than the car was worth at that time. See what I mean? .. just ridcoulous.</blockquote>
