Lol! Ya gotta love distribution licensing, either Subaru have cleverly
leveraged their parts catalogue or there's some market manipulation going
on ... Or that's one hell of a headlight :(
Sounds like an ACCC complaint should be lodged, others here might know
better if this is an avenue ?

Car parts are the worst. Subaru Forrester headlight USA: $150. Australia, I

It was fun coming back to that hit and run, I can tell you.

And no I couldnt, headlights are almost unique to each country.

'Country pricing' a cause of Canada-U.S. price gaps ...

The practice called 'country pricing' affects products across the board,

not just IT products, i.e.


"Edmonton resident Christine Maligec was shocked to find the playpen she

 bought from Toys "R" Us cost $129.99 in the U.S., but jumped to $249.99

 in Canada."
