Hope you're ok! And that everyone else in the car is ok.

What in the world makes a bulb housing 10k, thats batshit insane | These things just come as a single module. No bulb. LED boards are soldered in. Housing is 100% sealed.

As much as I want to replace the "M2" with something bigger and more modern, the costs of these things are scaring me away.

Honda, Toyota, Acura, all the LED headlights are single sealed modules.

Like magic! | So bright that it's pretty common to get blinded by on coming traffic due to minimal elevation changes. Get blinded by so many tesla's and newer Honda's with the strip of LEDs even if they only have their lo-beams on.

Sadly the norm.

$10k for a single headlight unit is everything that's wrong with the world today. That's insane.

If you had baby/toddler car seats during the time of incident, you can claims those with ICBC and get a brand new replacement
EDIT: I've gone through an absurd amount ICBC claims for car seats
I started with an Evenflo Symphony Convertible car seat, took a cash claim and bought a Clek Fllo, I was involved in an accident, replaced it with another Clek Fllo, then accident again. Took a cash claim and bought two Diono Radian 3R. Another accident with the wife, claimed the seats and replaced it with another two Diono 3RXT, then someone decided to crash into the rear of my car. Took a cash ICBC claim and bought two Mifold Hifold booster seats (discontinued now in Canada)
All within an 8 year span

We've replaced 2 Foonfs and a Britax Clicktight through ICBC. This would be the third Foonf and second Clicktight. My older one is only 6.

Fuck you gotta replace a car seat nowadays if you even look at it the wrong way, shit's ridiculous.
We went from no seatbelts in the backseat at all to "My child will most certainly perish if the plastic is more than 5 years old"

In BC, booster seats didn't become mandatory till 2008 (!!!!). Car seats didn't even exist till the 60s.
Here's a GlobalTV story on the evolution of car seats with quotes from people talking about unsecured 6 month old kids in cars. https://globalnews.ca/news/4855352/c...ecades-safety/ https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/briti...rules-1.682562

Not sure which set of wheels SSM wants, but I'm somewhat interested in Evo's summer wheels if they become available.
