I bet over $300. Heck, the aftermarket lens for a 91 Nissan p/u set me back about 150 smackers. It's really quite criminal what they cost. I think it was Consumer Reports that priced out the cost of a car made from replacement parts. (Of course, they didn't actually do this, they just estimated it.) It was something like a Buick Regal and would have cost over $100,000 in parts alone.

No wonder junk yards do so well.
