I got my housings from www.awe-tuning.com. Right now they are $360 a pair, but you can get them cheaper with sales and such (I think I paid under $300). They are a decent bit brighter with nice defined light patterns.

Yeah I blew my bypass valve too. I picked up a valve from a 993 and it's worked perfectly. I think they design them to be the weakest link in the system.

Thanks for the link I'll check it out.

I got an estimate for repairs today and I'm a bit amazed at the total cost. Here's the breakdown

parts - fender, light assembly, misc $591
Body Labor 22hrs @ 42/hr $924
Paint Labor 13.7hrs @ 42/hr $575
Paint supplies 13.7 hrs @ 21/hr $287
Body supplies 16.3 hrs @ 2/hr $32

total + including tax $2556.37

I'm not that surprised at the number. I think it was about that much when I got rear-ended in my Rodeo and had to have the liftgate skin replaced. The surprising thing is how the parts are only 20% of the total.
