Try ebay for headlights. Its from $100-150 for the set, then the ballast is about $150-$200, then get some 8, 10, or 12k bulbs for about $100. If your lucky it would cost about $350 total .

It is going to cost you a pretty penny and exactly like Ugly Psycho stated I think that will be about the price... lucky $350 but I think you will get away with $400 to $450. Assuming no body damage. Probably wont get it over night but have to watch the auctions to get good pricing.

Where in queens man?

Sorry about it bro..

Yeah I had it happen to me. I got the lights from ebay the housing only one though cause that is what they stole. I got it for under $45 bucks with shipping. Then I got lights from ebay too dor $250 shipped 6000K for the pair phillips plus just over a hundred for a phillip balast.

and the fender and hood was damaged that had to be repainted.

The paint damaged cost at the body shop cost $600 excellent paint but the shop changed owners and I don't trust the new guys there.

Where did your headlight theft happen?

EBAY

take advantage of insurance if possible ~ "no fault" i believe. otherwise crash into a wall so that insurance covers it. perfect chance for upgrades.

viva NY!

is it true.. my dad told me that now, insurance companies makes you give them receipts for all the parts that need to be replaced so they only reimburse you for what you pay for the product? instead of the Retail price for a rband new one?

Did they cut the harness as well for the HIDs. If so, you might want to consider looking into other ballasts with possibly longer wires between your bulbs and ballats. Then have your shop mount your ballasts further back from the stock locations, preferably with barbed wires and machine guns to keep em from getting em.
