I can sympathize I had the same problem ( my Dak has been through hell so
far). I was coming out of a turn onto a busy main road, next thing I know
there is a Ranger sliding along the road with a big dent in the side, of
course my Dak barely shifted. WELL, it ripped out my front headlight, dented
the bumper and grille. But here is what happened, the next night, I went to
go drive Winky the Wonder Truck (thanks to my good friends for that
magnificent name) at night to the bar I help out at, and low and behold my
one working light didn't work. It cost quite a chunk of change (I think
close 7k) to get all Factory parts reinstalled..although the body shop
didn't order the V6 magnum emblem in time. (so yes I am missing a V6 Emblem
for the time being, will just get it replaced when i take it into the body
shop to get all the sticker and lettering removed)

Good luck on the repairs, it only took my body shop 3 days to fix, but it
still hurts to not have the Dak for a day ;)
