Pre faclift to facelift headlights threw insurance

**Rhinop21** · 12-17-2008 05:57 PM

So I crashed my car...

I need new fender, headlights, and dents fixed in my door. I have the ugly ebay projectors, and I dont want them replaced with the same crappy projector and I dont want prefacelift headlights. How should I go about having the auto body do facelift headlights. I understand that the harnesses are different and some of the fender needs to be trimmed down. Does anyone have experience going through an autobody for headlights. I have allstate if that makes a difference. Maybe I could just get an estimate for all of it and get a check and do it myself. That would be ideal, but i dont know if allstate does that. Any experience guys?

they'll probably want to buy all used parts....just an fyi, so look for some used parts in the classifieds

I can't help you with your problem, but what happened?! Was that a drift gone wrong or what? Everyone in the car okay?

Damage was not done during the wreck, the damage is from the tow truck. I was a little sideways and lost control, probably going about 5mph when I went into the ditch.

so, does that mean the tow truck company is paying? Get your insurance to pay to put it all back to stock condition(from audi = more $$$) and then use that money towards the upgraded headlights(used 99.5+ stocks or ebay option) and have the body shop trim your fenders to make them fit. Purchase the upgrade harness from ECS to make it easier to upgrade.
