T&C headlight replacement help

Need someone to share experiences replacing the 1999 T&C passenger side
headlight. Dealer quoted $500 for this job, I am no longer be able to
afford it right after a $500 radiator replaced.

Please provide service diagram if it is necessary/helpful.
I found one headlight for as low as $180 on line, is it a reasonable price?

Thanks

 

www.car-part.com shows a number of these for $100.

A dumb question possibly since I don't own one of these vans, but are you
sure you can't just get along with a replacement bulb for a while? I would
also think that a local wrecker could supply you with an entire headlight
assembly cheaper than the $100 I listed.

If you're on a really tight budget, find a good used one from
www.car-part.com .

 

The headlight assembly seems leaking pretty bad. Just replacing the bulb
will not solve the problem...

 

I am not trying to save $80 or $100 here but I don't feel comfortable paying
dealer $500 for that.
Where can I find a service manual to do this job myself?

 

If it is just the headlight assembly it is easy to do without a manual. I
believe it is held on with two screws at the top. and you just wiggle and
pull out. My 2003 was like that. And you had to take the assembly out to
change the bulbs.

 

Wondering why the dealer also quoted "right front marker lamp assembly"?
I thought the 1999 has low/high and turn signal lights all in one assembly??
I only see the headlight assembly fogged not the lights under it...

 

It is one assembly.
