Think i need a new headlight? w/ pics

Well i'll just get straight to the pics....





^^^theres where i was parked...this guy managed to take out my right headlight and bumper (side by the curb).









******* in the Escalade never even looked where he was going and backed right into my car. Then apparently tried to run. Luckily, some people were standing in the parking lot and got his plate and called the police. The police came and called me. The kid then came back they filed a report and gave me his info. Still sucks that i gotta go through the trouble of getting it fixed. I hate stupid people caz now my headlight is covered with duct tape.

Just to be clear im gonna be pushing for a new front bumper and definitely a new headlight. Also, need them to tell me why my front side panel doesnt line up with the hood anymore

If that happened to me I'd be so pissed. I would've taken a huge sloppy **** right on that Escalades hood.

yea the kid almost got charged with a hit and run but they dropped it caz he eventually came back...

i got my first estimate today and it was almost $1400 but that doesnt include the hood that i just noticed i need. its scrapped a lil and dented/bent so i doubt they can fix that so that probably means new hood.

this is such a pita all because sum1 couldnt pay attention to what they were doing.

@ OP

I got a new housing, mounting bracket, front bumper, intercooler, and fender cuz a dumb ass side swiped me. 4700 worth of repairs. All I paid was the deductible.

You'll feel better after its fixed and you wash it for the first time.
