My car recently got its bumper cover torn off by an idiot trying to park a pickup in front of me. Scratched the driver's side headlight and broke the mount for the passenger side. I can say that they cost the guys insurance company $660 - EACH, for OEM Saab. Over $3K for headlights, a bumper cover, the screen wash bottle, the plastic bits underneath, and fixing the scuff on the fender edge.
I don't believe those eyebrows lighs are LED, I think they are cold-cathode tubes. And they are definitely not seperately replaceable. Though I bet when the demand starts someday, the places that rebuild SIDs and throttle bodies will start fixing them. LEDs do last a very long time, most likely any that have failed already are actually issues with the wiring in the units.
