Honda Car Forum

Hi All,

Last night, some assholes stole headlights from my car (Acura Integra
98').
Does anybody have any idea approximately how much it will cost to fix
them ?

My insurance deducible is $500..so if it takes less than $500, should
I contact the insurance agency ?

Thanks for all your help in advance !

Probably because their's were clouded up,and they'd rather steal than buy
new ones.

Suggestion: buy a good auto alarm,and have a hood pin switch installed and
connnected to the alarm.

Unless they damaged the car getting to the headlights, it is doubtful
they will cost $500 or more to replace. Unless they cost is really
high, do not even contact your insurance company. Just telling them
you had something stolen will affect your insurance for about 3 years.
If the replacement cost is over $1000, then you should consider it,
but otherwise, leave the insurance company out of it entirely.

I dunno;how much does an Integra headlight assembly cost?
It would not surprise me to see a very high price on them.
And the cost for a replacement front bumper cover would add even more to
that.
