headlight replacement

Spent some time searching, but didn't find another thread directly related. I need to replace the drivers side headlight on my 07 Justa. It has hazed over, and while the headlight restore paste worked well, it doesn't match the other.
Replacement headlights run from $500+ (oem) to less than $100. Leaning towards Hellas as middle of road. Anyone have any experience or recommendations?
Thanks!

The headlights can range in price. If you have the stock Halogen housing they are on the lower side all the way up to the Bi - Xenon with black housings. Do you have a picture of the other housing you replaced or know if its halogen with the clear turn indicator or amber lens.

We carry OEM Genuine MINI and the Magneti Marelli which is an OE option in the Gen 2 MINIs.

Thanks
