just hit a bird and smashed the perspex over the n/s headlight/side light

lights still work

question is can it be driven, lights on, without the cover or will it blow the Xenon?

i am hesitant to use lights being worried about it costing me a new Xenon.

i guess rain on it would kill it too?

Can you get just the perspex cover? i have seen them for pre 10MY ones but not the later facelift ones which is what mine is.

just debating as to whether i need to leave for home earlier today! Help and advice needed please.

i think this is kama for the brake disc change going soo well! Cheers

James

Temporary few layers of clingfilm edges held with duct tape if needed to get you out of trouble today?

No good news unfortunately sir...

That will need a replacement headlight

If you have AFS then its expensive...

thanks for the replies. so whole new headlight needed.

anyone know MPN?

whats AFS?

its a 10MY vogue SE. Cheers

James

Lights that follow your steering angle & cornering lights...

MPN will be VIN dependant as there are about 15 varients!

From 800 - 1800 quid

If you hit a bird then it's an accident so claim on your insurance...  Pete

Done a few now on 10my> from bird strikes!

Not as strong as the previous models

then i have AFS, will make some calls tomorrow

shame the perspex cant just be changed.

is it worth the insurance claim for NCB and having it on the policy as a claim? Cheers

James

having said that the lights themselves and everything works as it should, just the light surround that i need.

can that be bought seperatly to whole units and is it a diy fit? does anything electronic need to be done to set the lights back up fit it straight in and off you go? Cheers

James

IHHO its probably not worth the claim.

Depends what your excess is for starters - then you will need to declare it for the next 5 years - so it's hard to really predict, but feels like they'd claw back more in premiums than you would get paid out.

sort of what i was thinking. light all cling filmed up now so will check some options tomorrow Cheers

James

You have my sympathy - seems like crazy money when all you need is a bit of perspex

£840 from Powerful but always worth checking with Dan before buying any parts
