So you only need one headlight?

Post in the wanted section and try be specific about what you want. E.g. Right or Left, Xenon or not, etc.

Also have you tried Goldwagen, they normally cheaper than the agents.

You do know that scrap yards only look at whats on their shelf when you PHONE them....
painful thing but you need to go there physically for you to get something, yes and all of them are the same

:iagree:

Spent many hours at scrapyards once upon a time - had a Mini 1000 and found a GTS Clubman 1275 instrument cluster - and it escalated from there ... ;)
