Hello and welcome

Ebay may well be your friend, although aftermarket can vary greatly in quality.

Black duct tape is available if you want to go black and cheap… ;) :shock: :cool:

I thought you just purchased the car (other thread), sorry you had a bump so soon.

Look on ebay for car being broken if that is possible in the US.

Always fitment issues with non genuine parts and they are not as well made.

A non genuine headlight may not have the same quality lens as the MB original.

Keep it original.
