Smacked a deer, advice on headlight

[LT1ZOB]

On the way home tonight, it was snowing and as I came around the bend, I saw a bunch of deer crossing. Didn’t want to risk sliding and flipping into a ditch, so I caught one with my front passenger headlight.

Damage is only to the headlight. Advice on getting a replacement? I don’t want a foggy mess with an aftermarket but GM oems seem pricy.

Use it as an excuse to upgrade to Morimoto lights…

Looks like your bumper cover is broken as well……. Hopefully it pops back in.

Just popped out, should pop back in. Any experience with a decent OE style aftermarket headlight?

 

[Hey you]

I purchased the Anzo brand replacement lights, and like them a lot. If you just want to replace your damaged light, I have my old set
available, $125 for both with bulbs... shipping extra. Currently on craiglist, item # id: 7807238327

I couldn’t find it, so I ordered one online last night. Thanks

OK, it is a chore to install, taking off the front bumper, but plenty of videos out there will get you thru it.

Thank you. Ya, a couple years back I helped a buddy swap out his headlights. It’s not hard, but as you say, a chore

I understand you have ordered a headlight but the next time look at CAPA option. CAPA are Certified Automotive Parts Association and are used by auto body mechanics at a much cheaper option but built to high quality standards.

glad that deer did not come through your windshield

Ya, this was as good of an outcome as it could have been given what could have happened. A headlight is a cheap alternative to every other scenario that could have been
