Default Focus wreckers?

Does anyone know of a wrecker who does parts for Focus?

I need to pick up another pair of headlight assemblies and I don't want to go to Ford to buy another pair. I have a feeling that they will be fairly over priced from Ford.

Even on European Parts they are expensive.

If you pick up a pair of headlights from a wrecker, i am after the headlight wiring loom for L & R for a 2006 model. Previous owner of daughters car put in 100w globes & melted & burnt the wiring.

Chances are it would have also damaged the halogen reflector as well from the extra heat I reckon. Do you know how long they where in there before the wires melted?

Dad did the same thing with mums car, the wires didn't melt but it screwed the reflector.

Anyone in Sydney need similar, both GMS in Bankstown and Formula One Yennora do very late model cars, I saw a WS Fiesta there 3 months after the car went on sale in Aus. Also there's a specialist Ford Wreckers in Greenacre that has one or 2 Focus for parts.
