Many thanks to Particlewave for the explanation. So as I understand it, it will be roughly $425 in parts, but they can't be had at this time. Then there's $100 in shipping to have the work done (because I'm not going to do it myself as the results would suck). Then there's the $200-1200 range in price for the labor (depending on who does it).

Which brings me to anywhere between $725 - $1,725.

And it's using my old headlight housings, which are not in perfect shape. Yellow hazy and one of them looks like someone glued the outside wedge cover back on. Badly. Plus, since we drive the car, not having headlights for days or weeks is a non-starter.

So toss in another $500 or so for new donor lights (based on what I find on ebay).

Therefore, as I understand it, the headlight upgrade will cost somewhere between $1,225 and $2,225.

I SO WANT new lights for the car. It's just the sticker shock that's got me!
