    Hello. I recently discovered that my headlight has been smashed through, now although it still works fine it really needs replacing. Apparently I have xenons which is "a technical bit of kit" ??? Anyway the price definitely reflects this, £475 just for parts!!!! Does that not seem obscene? What can I do about this? Help please!

    Sounds about right to me. Xenon lights aint cheap.

    You could always search around for a seconhand replacement, Ebay and breakers yards etc etc..........
