Somewhere down the road, a rock hit my passenger side headlight unit cracking it pretty badly. The unit still is in one piece, but come winter, I'm sure the water will leak in and cause problems.

Question is: I've found replacement headlight units for $179 .... but they are not OEM. The OEM lights from Volvo cost quite a bit more, $300 to $500. Even calling the local pick-n-pulls are charging at least $300. Anyone have any advice to share on which ones to go with?

(Funny how the driver's side unit is more expensive than the passenger side, but it's probably due to how little space there is between the headlight and radiator unit.)

The labor will be horrific since I've been told that the front bumper needs to be pulled/removed.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks!
