Default Wife smashed the truck..

I got a 05 quad cab (white) dakota v8.. the wife decided that she doesn't really like the looks of a Corolla S coming infront of us.. so she tboned it and decided to redesign the looks of it.. (AKA : She failed to yield and t boned a corolla S and totaled it).. our truck has a dented fender, front bumper is a little smacked up on the drivers side and our driver's headlight and pretty much destroyed.

my deductable is $1000 [:-][:@] I'd rather just buy a new headlight and fix the fender myself...

So my question is:

Wheres the best / cheapest place to look for a replacement headlight?



I'll post pictures later....

PS: This happened today on our 2 year anniversary as well... LOL..



Thanks

Women drivers are a bad thing. I bet she was applying makeup, using a cellphone, eatting, chatting, looking at stuff, or doing it all at once before she tboned the Corolla.
