Default 147 Headlight fitting - where to buy?

Hello

Think I need to buy a whole new headlight fitting for a 2001 147.
Dealer said they had trouble replacing a bulb during MOT because the
plastic in the fitting has melted?!? Had a look and they have glued the
headlight bulb in place. The metal clip for the bulb basically has
nothing to grip onto now.

Anyway, they quoted me over £200 for parts and fitting. I found a
headlight fitting on the web for £100 but before I buy can anyone
recommend a good website where I could get a headlight fitting? (Also
need a new fitting for the drivers side indicator!)

Is it easy enough to fit DIY? (Noticed that the bumper has to come off
to get the old one out.)

Thanks
