ZJ Headlights
All,
My passenger side headlight lens fell out the other day, and of course
I then ran it over. I've been quoted a price of £190 + VAT for a
replacement. It seems that you can only buy the whole fitting, not
just the glass. Now this price to me seems astronomical - it's
actually more than my first car cost. So two questions - I've been
told that this is not an uncommon event, can the group confirm this?
Secondly, any recommendations where I may be able to source a
replacement part? I've tried the breakers near me, but unfortunately
they are unable to help. This is a RHD UK ZJ Grand Cherokee.
I've also complained to Chrysler UK about the price of the part, and
the fact that this seems to be a design flaw.. I will post back what
their response is.
Thanks

My ZJ is 14 years old, and been through really terrible roads. Bad
enough to mess up the HVAC operation. Never had a problem with a
headlamp falling out, but I did have a fog lamp lens fall out at a car
wash.
