I saw two right side HID's on eBay for $279 each with the bulb and ballast a few days ago.

Thanks for the replies, Ill take it up to the dealer and see what they can do for me. Its just a cosmetic thing, but on a brand new truck it really just sucks.

Have you tried to buff out the scratch with a headlight restoration kit or a product like meguire's Plast-X?

I haven't but really feels way to deep to be buffed out. The scratch continues into the painted portion of the grille and it is into the paint as well.

is the lense itself any different from the halogen one? I can't really imagine why it would be. just buy an OEM halogen one on ebay, put it in the oven and take the lense off of it, and put it on yours.
