Headlight problem

[RanTan24/7]

I just failed inspection because the guy said that my headlight cell wasbroken...and it costs 500 something bucks for the part, and like another 100 for labor...does anyone know what a headlight cell is? and if i have to pay 600 to repair it????????

just get new headlights...(projectors or something)

what is a headlight cell..sounds liike a ripoff to me...a new set of oem lights dont cost $500....

go someplace else for inspektion

even if hemeant the Headlight reflectors were faded or loose, a new set costs like $300 right?(set of headlights)#

and as far as i know,us cars dont need headlamp adjusting motors...

how much does it cost to just buy two new headlights?

 

[Raph]

dunno,300 i guess

but try some o those Autopart discounters online,i saw some for 97 per side...

or just get a set o projectors for like 240 ..

i remember Prostreetonline had a sale going on projector headlights..like 150 per set...

or just check the classifeids

Good god. First, make this guy show you what a "headlight cell" is, and what about it is broken. Then come back and tell us.

A pair of good headlights can be found used for around $150, maybe a little less.
