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.

Too bad the 'g' in lubricating is a dead giveaway of a photoshop.

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.
