Did it knock out your blinker fluid tank? I’m gonna say somewhere around $8k.

thats what we were thinking. did you know a headlight for this car is $2000 on the cheap end? I’ve bought multiple motorcycles with that kind of dough

I worked parts, so that really isn’t surprising. I’m just hoping there’s no frame damage.

What happened, by the way? Or is this a tale that should be saved for next week?

I did this to my M3, I think it total it was like $4k. So I’m guess around $6k USD, those headlights aren’t cheap. Mine was like $1300.

$6435. I miss the days when a bumper could take some damage instead of disintegrating into a million pieces...

I’m jumping on the 8k bandwagon. My initial guess was 4k... but then I remembered that that’s for the pleb vehicles I drive and this is a Lexus .

I used to have one of those - are all the parts used for the repair going to be new and OEM? The lights are expensive, but you have the older ones which aren’t quite as bad. The ones with the LED accent are quite a bit more (I looked at upgrading, until I saw the price). Here’s a nice set for $1500 . Looks like you’ll need fender + bumper + passenger headlight + fog light assembly + liner + clips. Paint on two items, assembly on all. New OEM, I’d say $4300. Used and aftermarket parts, maybe $3k.

I’d add about $500 to each then. Any damage to the suspension or any supports underneath? Looks okay in the pics, but hard to tell for sure.

This looks familiar!

Friday night somebody ran a red light and hit me on the driver side in almost the same spot, just square on the wheel instead. Waiting on police report to start the insurance circus.

someone turned left at the intersection. weird thing is, they were going from the east to south, lexus was coming from south. they say we ran a red, we say they ran a red. let the insurance game begin

Wow, fancy Lexus car, gotta be around $9,250. But hang on, you’re in Canada correct? Let me account for the difference in currency, 1 Gallon of Maple Syrup, 1/2 pound of back bacon, and $3.50, I might be a little off in the conversion rate.

Remember when headlights weren’t integrated single units? You could swap them out?
