Default Solenoid for the evap system?

Hey guys,
I have an 2003 outlander with a small evap leak (p0456 I think). The mechanic thinks it's the solenoid. No leaks were found with a smoke test. Does anyone know a ballpark of what I'm looking at cost wise? Also looking for both headlight assemblies any good places to find em? Thanks!

That part isn't typically expensive, about $50-$75, and they aren't difficult to replace either. Either that or your gas cap, which you can eliminate usually by applying a thin coating of vaseline around the rubber o-ring of the gas cap. Then clear the code using a code reader or unhook the negative battery terminal for 10 seconds. That should do the trick.

I advise having a mechanically inclined friend do it, rather than paying some shop monkey to do it.
