Is there bumper damage? I would assume that all the would have to do is go in and straighten out the bracken thats holding the light and then repaint anything that needs to be. I would say 1500

Anyway, there is nothing you should worry about since it wasn't your fault

Is the headlight housing cracked? There are screws which hold it on place; most likely if the headlight is not cracked it has just broken one or more of the mounts and can possibly be adjusted back into position. Can we get some pics?
