*Boom*
This happened about a week or two ago, but i never really needed to post it until now.
The story goes a little something like this...
I was out playing hockey with some friends and my girlfriend stopped by as we were finishing up. So a few of us decide to go out for a snack/drinks. Right about this time it starts to snow HARD. So as I'm following her up a relatively busy street we stopped at a red light. As it turns green she goes and I follow, she tapped her brakes for a second and I thought nothing of it. But then after releasing her brakes, slams them on hard. I'm all over my brakes but the snow isn't helping, ABS kicks in and I know i'm getting too close to her back bumper. i tried to steer away to avoid the collision. No luck, my front drivers side corner hits her back bumper pretty hard.... Turns out there was this drunk jaywalker in the middle of the street.
After all was said and done, I go to assess the damage.
Mine: smashed corner marker, bumper cracked in several places, scuff on headlight which later turns out the housing broke
Hers: scuffed/cracked read bumper, needs replacing.
Cliff notes: drunken jaywalker jumps in front of my girlfriends car, she stops I can't.
does anybody know where i can buy just one headlight assembly, or recommend a place where I can buy the parts at a good price. I'm going check to see if I can salvage the part from another person's misfortune.
I thought JDM conversion for a bit, but it's just not worthwhile... I've already got a new front bumper lined up for cheap anyways.

sorry to hear that, you could try http://www.thepartstrader.com or ebay to find someone selling just one headlight, but just becareful thepartstrader seems to be a breeding ground for thieves, good luck, later
that sucks, try this place. I'm not sure if they sell 1 headlight or not, but it'd be worth a try.

it looks like they sell them individually, $350 seems to be the approx. going rate. I did find one place for $210 shipped.
anybody have any other suggestions?
