Accident in the Volvo story & aftermarket headlamp question 200

I meant to post this right after the accidnet but things have been busy.
This happend about 2 weeks ago -
the story-

I am so disgusted with myself I don't even want to talk about it.
I 'm just hoping that someone can share some sympathy with me on this horrible day....

After spending the day washing, waxing, detailing with toothbrush and black magic...

2 hours before



after.........

After some dumb-ass decided to slam on his brakes to make a left turn onto a 2 lane street, I had no choice to ram him up the bumper. (25-35 mph)
luckily I didn't get a ticket, but the guy's toyota was undamaged. My 15 year old mint condition classic volvo now has $3000 in damages.

p.s.
I'm getting it repaired at a local body shop - they are almost done but one headlamp is going to be noticably clearer than the other older one
- Im looking for an after-market headlamp to replace my old good one with. does anyone know of a good source www.lampsandlenses.com has them for $40 - does anyone know of a less expensive alternative or this a reasonable price?
Thanks,
