You shoulda got the head replaced to MR.since you probably paid 600 for just one headlight from the dealer

If you had read the thread you would have realized that insurance paid for it. I could have paid an additional $900 (1243 MSRP) from the dealer, had I gotten 1 IX light covered.

The parts and labor cost me my insurance deductible, plus the difference between ordering VIII parts and IX parts to fix the car, and the pain and suffering of driving a rental while my car was laid up waiting on backordered parts. The parts cost was around $1200 not including the fender and headlight.

Looks very clean & crisp! Also I think you forgot one of the other parts for the 9 bumper swap. That being the foam bumper core support. It does have a different part # from the 8 front end I have found out since I did the 9 front end on my 8 as well. The part # for that is *6400A370*
