Since the headlights run across the front of the car, it’s safe to say that it’s easy to damage one in an accident. The brackets are designed to break to save the rest of the headlight from becoming damaged beyond repair.

That’s good for 1 reason, your bank account. Each headlight costs £1500 and my best guess is the central light bar is probably £1000.

So thankfully there are bracket repair kits available from smart and when I bought a full set to replace every headlight bracket on the car, they cost about £40 for the lot. I will put the part numbers at the end of each section. £40 is a lot better than £1500 to £4000. It’s worth the subscription money to the site to save that much.
