Headlight help C43

Hello,

I have a C43 that needs a new drivers side headlight. The car has OEM xenons and its very hard to find those headlights. Are there any other alternatives? I think the OEM part number is 202 820 37 61.

Roughly $800-1000 is the only price i can find!!

Any help is appreciated!

Why do you need a new light assembly? Any old parts savable?

I have just checked in the EPC and Xenon light assembly comes in one block The number for the driver's side (LHD) is 202 820 33 61. The passenger side is 202 820 34 61. The two numbers are the non USA vehicle. The number you mention shows up correctly as the USA version.

I browsed around and came up with something perhaps worth looking into in Pelican Parts:

Are you just looking for bulbs? If so, you need a set of D2R HID bulbs. We carry top end Morimoto XB ($45) and OEM Philips 85126 ($100) if interested.

Thanks for the replies.

I need the whole headlight. The person that owned the car before me jerryridged the wiring to a non oem headlight made in Taiwan.

It works when it wants...i tried everything but there are wires hanging all over. I just want to replace it with a whole new assembly.
