Hi, and a big hello from a new member…. So,  I need a headlight complete for passenger side of my 2014 VRS estate any ideas where I could get one Skoda Ireland quoted me €700+ for a new one!!! Used is ok with me as long as it’s working, the motor for the headlight/dips is knackered in mine, the so called genius that tried to fix it shorted out the unit so I’m being told a full replacement is needed, any advice greatly appreciated as NCT/MOT is due in June! No problem buying from UK. Thanks in advance for any help..!!

I'm assuming they are bi Xenon gas discharge? Is your light assembly  5E2941017B?

 

That price is about right for a complete assembly.  A discount code or special offer may get you a little cheaper.

 

But to save a lot of money you will need to either i) source assembly at a wreckers (now called recycling parts centre) or ii)  buy the motor separately.

 

When purchasing from a wreckers there is always a risk the parts are damaged or not working. Make sure they will honour a dead on arrival product. Also, often retaining plastic lugs etc are damaged. You maybe able to swap over your casing or donate parts from it.....

 

At my first glance, it seems the motor is available separately under euro100 at LLLParts

If the light assembly is as specified, the  motor is listed as:

5E0941295

See diagram at LLLParts no. 12

 

 

 

 

Thanks for your help, I’ll check that link out for the motor, possibly will solve my problem, I tried some car breakers but I had no luck so if the motor isn’t an option, I’ll have to bite the bullet so to speak… thanks again @TheClient
