You should be able to get something for a lot less than that. I've used the aftermarket replacement pumps before. They're pretty strong, and usually only about 20 bucks.

I cant find anybody that carries an after market. the only ones I can find are winsheild washer pumps. I guess the headlight pumps are "higher flow"
