Bird strike

[owl1972]

Hi,

Just had the unfortunate experience of hitting a big, fat pigeon at no more than 30 mph, but it's smashed my NSF headlight unit. Has anyone replaced one before? I have the bog standard headlights on my 2013 245 SE avant. How much is this likely to cost me?

Thanks

Richard

Have a look on eBay, will be far cheaper than a new one.

£800 at the dealers for a bi xenon, £1600 for LED, so you're lucky having bog standard.

Blimey, I am lucky!

...and you can still see in the dark with them! Bargain.:D

Am I the only one to see the irony of your nickname? :D

If your lucky and it hasn't damaged the interior, you might get away with just replacing the acrylic/plastic cover.........but probably not available as a seperate component, anyone able to view a parts directory?

Don't know if you've had a look on eBay yet, but there's one on there for under £90 delivered!

First timer on here, just been trolling for a while & never had to ask anything mainly due to the information on this forum, so hopefully this will help you get sorted ASAP!

Hi Richard

I've just had a fence panel fly off the lorry in front of me on the M1 and hit the side of my car - smashed the wing mirror.

Just been quoted £200 notes to replace it all (ive also got blind spot detector light in the housing)

Seems we should all just stay indoors !!!
