In the long term test of the new Lexus high performance coupe (I forget the model) they had a fender bender.
A new headlight assy was $1,600! What a joke. I bet even Ferrari could beat that price. I'ld be surprised if a Maxima head light is over $200, anyone know?

I wonder how many Insurance Companies are re-thinking their policy rates on that model?

Thats crazy, the headlights for the 2001 AE are like $259 a piece from Couresty Nissan, I'm thinking about getting them for my max.. Not sure how much the other models are... But if a Lex is that much I wonder how much a S600 Benz is???

$1600!!

Imagine how much the new Q45 healamps would be! They have like 7-optically "tuned" bulbs plus running and turning lamps.

Those things are BRIGHT! They smoke regular HIDs' output.

I have the AE bronzed headlights on my car and I spent 300 for a pair. It looks good and I think it changed the whole look of my car. Dont spend that much though, $600 for AE headlights I would tell them to kiss my a*s. Good luck

Actually, it's only one bulb, but 7 lenses that focus it, and I read somewhere (I think on freshalloy.co) that each assembly costs $1800!
