Bird strike on headlamp
A pigeon managed to blow a big hole in the outer glass of my driver's side xenon headlamp. Anyone got any suggestions for getting a replacement? I am checking out ebay. Prices look a little eye-watering so far.

You could maybe Tweet that your after a headlight? Then the responses should come flocking in.

Yeah, pigeons don't come cheap nowadays, could always try the RSPB for a replacement.
As for the light, it'll be fine, just a little lens tape over the hole.
Sorry. 🏴

I'd feather the edges of the broken plastic first.
