Gary next time I'm going to sit in the car and cry and scream my backs done in get the ambulance out the works mate loss of earnings, whiplash and back pain, medication, travel expenses you can claim the lot I wish I did I felt and still do like I was conned. If they want to give you 5+ grand for a 13 year old car more mug them mate lol. They teach you to be deceitful next time I get hit that's precisely what I'm going to do lol.

I suppose it depends on the insurance company, but when my mum's car was written off her insurer (RIAS) offered £1200, I went back to them (with evidence) that the only 3 cars of equivalent spec/condition/mileage for sale within 50 miles were priced at £1900/£2100/£2195 - within 24 hours they had revised their offer to £2100 and transferred the cash over.

They just turn decent hounest people into scammers because sometimes it's the only way you can replace and get justice likewatch I don't like being like that but I will next time and in all hounesty I think they would write a decent 3 year old car off as the market for cat c and cat d repaired cars is huge. Hope you get youres sorted Gary

Think I've got a drivers headlight in the garage.

Has a ballast and black bezel, don't think they're chrome rings though

The glass is also misted up so not sure how much use it is to you.

Thanks mate, I can just order a new pair of bezels and have one spare.

Glass is what I really need, as my spare halogen headlight glass broke when I put a clip on wrong - clipped on to the glass instead of onto the plastic housing.

How much for the complete unit Alex, with postage to DD10 9DH?

I would still need to get an indicator too.

Can't even find my silver ones in the loft!!!!

I've got quite a few spares now so should be able to find something.

Do you need a ballast too? Got a choice of two lol.

The light is still working - I was surprised. The bulb is still intact and lights up!

Really just the complete unit though, as I don't have time to be messing around with it, if I can help it. Quicker I can get it in to be repaired, the better.

My reflector is still intact, but the rear of the unit has been torn apart, so I don't know what may be knackered behind the reflector.

If you have a black indicator, that would be a life saver too, buddy.

I'll have a look tomorrow and get back to you

[GaryS40]

Just had another look and there is a piece missing from the outer edge of the reflector, so yes, a complete unit will be required.

Thanks Alex.

Cheers Kieran. Appreciate the help.

Be as well send it up, mate, as Alex's lens is misty in any case.

I can fix the misty one to the halogen unit.

Offside black indicator would be good if you have it too!

PM me your PayPal details and costs, then I will send you my address.
