To be honest I don't think it's to bad 280 euro is £220 , I did a Range Rover sport the other week , grill off, pull pins for headlamp removal , headlamp aim re check , we charged 1/2 hours labour £30 .

Owner insisted on doing both sides and using dealer bulbs ....from memory £70 each

So £140 +£30 =£170 plus vat = £204 so looks like we are a bigger rip off than the dealers as the landrovers are quite easy to get at the bulbs

Dont think for a second I'm defending dealer prices because I'm not , but them gas discharge bulbs are expensive from the dealers ...... yes there on eBay for blah blah but the dealer will only use genuine Audi bulbs ( probably sourced off eBay snigger )

If it just the labour charge it does sound expensive though
