Headlight Replacement

Does anyone know a cheap way to replace the broken headlight cover (passenger side) on my 97 TL 2.5. The dealer says I have to buy the entire headlight assembly $451 (ouch!!!)

Yes, its a big ouch. I looked EVERYWHERE including junkyards. Nothing

I ended up paying 400 bucks. Installation was a pain in the butt too and took me 3 hours.

You should look on EBAY for people selling them. It took me two months to find two headlights but it was worth it because I got one for $100 flat and the other for around $250.

They were used but in very good condition. If you really can not wait, do a search on Google and you can find a new one for like $370.
