Hit my first deer, maybe a good excuse for an upgrade?

I'm trying to turn a negative into a positive. I just hit my first deer tonight and the damage is hopefully only cosmetic. The front end is bent down just slightly,but both headlight lenses are shattered. I have wanted to do a swap for another look. What are my options? I wouldn't like to do anything too complicated, just something that will fit right in and hopefully plug into the plugs I have maybe with an adapter. I'm not that good rewiring things. Any suggestions or recommendations?

What exactly are you trying to swap? You can swap bumper covers, but anything but the right one will look a little weird. Headlights are all the same except GXP ones have a slight tint.

I think I've heard of some here having caddy lights fitted or replacing the stock ones.

They usually yank the HID projectors, and build them into the housings. It's all custom.

Ok. Sounds like more than what I want to do. Guess I'll hit Amazon, eBay motors, and harofreak. Thanks for the advice.

I can build you a set of HID lights if you wish, I'm currently in the middle of doing a set for another member, but if you have any questions feel free to ask or PM me.
To give you an idea of cost, it involves a pair of headlights, however you acquire them. ($50-200) Projectors, bulbs, ballasts, harness. ($100-300) My labor and shipping costs. ($150)

Yeah, a little more than I want to spend. Thanks for the offer though.
