Get the part number off of your dealer. PM me with it, and I'll get you the employee discounted price.

Or buy online here http://www.oempartsdirect.com

Ya, oempartsdirect has the same part for $1400. With or without Bi-Xenon is the same price.

Your dealer is raping you and not even being nice enough to use some lube.

Not sure why? "Lubricating" was not touched. Just had to construct "screwing customer" one letter at a time.

You can find the page in your own booklet.
