Can I just replace the lens, or do I need to swap out the entire assembly?
You’ll need to replace the whole assembly, which will cost around $2k. A turkey did the same to me recently, and I ended up without Thanksgiving dinner!

Perfect, just my luck to encounter an uninsured bird!
@Florian
Don’t you have uninsured bird coverage?
I’m familiar with bird law, if that helps.

Unfortunately, bird law in this country doesn’t make much sense.

That price is outrageous, you can find cheaper replacements on eBay for under $300. Here’s a link: Fits 2022 2023 2024 Hyundai Ioniq 5 LED Headlight Headlamp Left Driver Side | eBay

Keep in mind, labor costs can be the most significant part of the repair bill. Replacing the headlight assembly might require removing other parts, and you’ll need to properly align the headlights afterwards.

For the difference in cost, I’d be willing to tackle the job myself. Someone mentioned the part alone was $2000 in Canada.

That’s only about $200 in USD! But yeah, DIY could save a lot of money if you have the time.

Dealers in the US are asking $1999.99 for this part, but I found it for $1399 on a Hyundai parts website.
@Jody
Depending on the model, this headlight costs between $1300 and $2000. Cheaper ones from eBay may come from damaged vehicles and might need programming to your car.

I’m thinking about doing the replacement myself. Any tips on finding a reliable part?
@Florian
Many parts on eBay are genuine OEM taken from totaled vehicles.
@Florian
Before you start, make sure you understand the procedure. Replacing headlights can be tricky because you often have to remove other components first.

I’ll check out some tutorials online and see if it’s something I can handle.
@Florian
Don’t forget, the headlights may need to be calibrated, which could require professional equipment.

Did you manage to catch the turkey after the incident?

The answer comes tomorrow!
