Toyota Avalon 2011 headlight housing (which usually gets damaged) with auto leveling costs $150 each from the dealer ship. I still run the factory blasts and leveling motor and I just replace HID bulbs for ~$180 every 5 years or so.

Compare it with 2022 Toyota Avalon with unserviceable headlights without auto leveling which cost ~$2000

So a fender bender would cost $10k easy just for a pair of headlights and a bumper.

    Here they are for $470 each with a CAPA certification for body shop repairs:

    OEM parts are always going to be ridiculously priced because the OEM has a monopoly on OEM parts. Your 2011 headlamp assembly also has removable bulbs while the newer Avalon uses built-in LED lights with all the circuitry to drive them.
