Not seeing any reason to talk about dealerships pertaining to this. There are many aftermarket companies that sell headlight assemblies much cheaper than a dealer would ever be.
Dealer price for my wife's Hyundai were almost $600 a pair, parts only. I picked up some new ones online for $160 a pair.
The pricing difference was the same for HHR lights because I researched those also.
