'Remanufactured' headlamps
OK, so it turns out I'm 'that guy'. The idiot that gets a Porsche after wanting one for 40 years then drives slowly into a tree while looking at his GPS. Stupid? yes, Excuses? No. Just stupid, I'm mad as hell at myself.
Well the Insurance is fixing it. They've agreed to a new OEM bumper and fender, but they are saying to use a 'remanufactured' headlamp and aftermarket radiator.
I'm investigating the radiator, but WTF is a reman headlamp, where do they come from and what is the quality? I can understand remanufacturing mechanical parts, but I've never heard of reman plastic headlamp assemblies? Are they any good? If so where do you find them? Google just turns up used parts or really ugly (and really expensive) aftermarket items that would look perfect on a 16 year olds riced out Civic.
I'm off to talk to the shop thats doing the work tomorrow, but the headlamp situation is bugging me right now.
