What's the most economical way to replace with quality/factory parts?
Mechanic wants to charge ~$90 ($20 for the part) for the job.

$90, including $20 for a HEADLIGHT?!?!
Replacement Headlight Assembly - Right - Passenger Side
Your Price: $190.95

Part Number: 7524-02019983
Notes: w/o high intensity discharge
$90 is a bargain!
