Would you go for modeling the headlight housing and just
put a quartz glass surface on the headlight glass itself.

Cheers again Alan.
Yep, if you're going for realism, you might as well go the whole nine yards...

Model the interior with a good chrome surface (model the bulb as well) - then model the glass over the surface too - this way you can apply a texture map to the interior of the lens to get the correct lens look as well as having an authentic looking interior to the headlight.,..
