    Headlight wiper blades

    I've been out cleaning my car today and have noticed that some s@dd has swiped one of the headlight wiper blades.

    Went down to local Halfords - they don't stock them.
    Looked on ebay - £12 ish for a pair.
    Does anybody know where I can buy just 1 - or maybe somewhere cheaper to buy 2?
    I certainly don't want to go to my dealer as they are likely to be over 50 quid knowing them.

    Thank you

    The ones on my 850 come from GSF. They sell them individually and I think they wrer around the £5 mark. I haven't found anyplace cheaper for wiper blades as the screen ones were Bosch and I think I paid £8 tops. Check out www.gsfcarparts.com

    My Ph1 850 has the wrong length fitted then...
    I wondered why the blades were visible over the end of the bonnet when at top extent of wiping.
    Looks like the car is lifting it's eyebrows!

    I must have the wrong ones fitted as well, but at least they wipe more of the lens
