I just looked the regular ones (non-led) are fairly cheap.

Yes. That's why I apply 3M plastic headlight film to the headlights and fog lamps on all my vehicles. Most rocks bounce off without damage, and the extra layer of UV-resistant plastic keeps headlight lenses from turning foggy as they age.

Bottom pic is what’s left of the headlight assembly and bezel.

Now to find a bezel and HL assembly and all the related parts.
I’m sure I’m looking at a minimum $1500 for parts and paint (for the bezel)
Any suggestions for places that may have used parts ?

Sales forums here. There's usually someone trying to offload OEM halogen headlights.
