Default 2004 A4 B6 Headlights

My daughter bumped a stationary object and broke the driver side headlight assembly. The glass part is OK, but the plastic brackets on top broke so it's floating... anyway.

I am considering a slightly more "trick" after market assembly to replace the OEM but I don't want to deal with fancy ballasts and whatnot. Just unplug the old plug in the new. Obviously, the pair.

I find a plethora of options on eBay in the $200-$250 range. But I am unsure what to look for in brand, features, etc.

Thanks. My wife wants to give a body shop the opportunity to "weld" the plastic together. I don't hold much confidence for that plan. But "happy wife"... Your car looks gorgeous!

yea with all the vibration and all i would say that wont hold for too long. Those tabs are known to break though. Good look and let us know how things work out! Thanks for the compliment too!
