The scrappers are all crooks these days......thats £100-£120 for a pair of 10 year old Omega lights.....

Used to be that you could go to the scrappers ............fill your pockets with anything that took your fancy.......then have a recon engine......alternator.....plus all electrics...............and still have change from a quid.

Last time I went the crooks wanted £3.....for the rear plastic ashtray.

Crooks. >:( >:( :'( :'( :y

I bought some of those cheap e-bay ones last year, quality and fit wasn't good, but passed mot though.  Broken adjusters on old ones.
