[s-cars] DOT headlight cost....Pricing info neded!

[Emre Washburn]

Stealership price is: $507.08 (Usually above $600 when from the
dealership, search the archives, someone needed replacements but only
a few months ago).
This quote was form Park Place Motors which is the cheapest dealer
parts supplier I know of. Example, called my local $tealership for
quote on front //S4 badge over $80! Parks place was $64.XX and they
gave me my Q Club 20% discount, great guys for "dealer only" parts.

ImpexFAP.com has them for: $481.72 ea.

Shokan.com has them new for (They bought out the last of the US Hella
warehouse's UrS4 lamps): $395 ea.
