How much does it cost to repair a smashed headlight on a mazda 3?

So I just rear-ended someone and his car did not have not even one tiny scratch while my mazda 3 is all messed up :( The passengers side headlight is all smashed and the hood got bended a little. Should I call my insurance? will my insurance go up? how much will it cost?|||if he,s letting it go then you let it go too. it would be your fault for hitting him and your insurance will go up so if he,s willing to forget it then you do the same. it won,t cost that much if you get what you need from the junk yard.|||You didn't mention what year your car is which makes a difference in the cost of parts. If the only damage is your headlight and hood you are looking at about $300 for parts. You will then spend another $200 or so to get the hood painted.





If your deductible is $500 or so you might want to consider to have everything repaired yourself so your rates don't go up.|||headlights are ridiculously expensive for what is ultimately a piece of plastic, if you have insurance it would be wise to use it, otherwise (depending who you use) the repair costs would be in the vicinity of $600-$1200 , maybe even higher if structual damage has occured.|||if you buy online maybe it is around $200-$500 maximum. Shipping of the item included. But if you buy in a store it is around $80-150. But if you want a much cheaper you can buy 2nd hand or in surplus. But there is no guarantee that it is still in good shape. Buy at your own risk.|||what car did you hit?
