01 Type S 3.2CL Headlight Assmebly

Hello there, I just got water in my passenger headlight after the rains, yes I said rains in san diego last week. I need to get new headlights now. I figure I would get both new since the haze and wear are kind of bad on them, since it is 10 years old.

Does anybody know where to get the new headlights and have instructions on how to remove and install. I heard the new ones dont come with instructions.

I would like to do this myself. To save some money.

Thanks
mike

you can buy online, part is around $180 bucks each. Installation involves removing the bumper.

Are they coming unsealed or is there a crack or hole in the lens? Because if it is just the seal you can reseal them with silicon. Just melt them apart to get as much of the old silicon off as possible and then reseal. Just a suggestion.

To remove/install new headlights you will need to take out all the bulbs from the back of the headlight assembly and then there should be 3-4 easily visible bolts that hold it on. It should be a fairly easy process.

He was asking about the complete headlight assembly, not the HID system.

Ive seen them online for as low as $190 each for the 03s.
