What should they be?

Clearly states air pressure....30front 33 rear(cold)Even when I had the bridgestones, dealers altered the pressure, telling me that MB was wrong?
Just replaced above with Michelin Pilots ps2's and it's smooth at 36's all round(dealers insistence). Yet its a damn sight quieter and smoother at the recommended pressures. Each to ones own, interested to hear what yours are set at?

Some idiot scraped the car

Don't you just feel sick when you come back from a walk and see that your car has been hit. Couldn't believe it, although small and nobody of course saw anything. Anyway, by the front passenger headlights and all around the side, were black marks. Someone obviously reversed, hit me and disappeared pretty quickly. I was able to get all the black marks out(could have been his/her black rubber bumber) but was horrified to see scratches and cracks on the headlights which I cannot remove, in fact, it's really strange as some of the cracks are coming from within the headlight as if it was somehow impacted from within. In other words, there is no leackage, cracks or breaks showing on the outside of the glass, but appears from the inside....

Anyway, I believe I am insured for this. Anybody know if the whole light unit needs to be replaced and price(that would cost a small fortune) or if it's just a matter of removing the outer lens and what that costs?

Could have been worse I suppose, but took me 2 days to calm down and was very lucky to easily get all the black stuff off, as it looked a right mess originally. Thx.
