Dude, sorry to hear about that. I know I would be pissed if this happens to me. Stolen headlights were a major problem a while back ago but I didn't know it was still going on. Probably not the best place to call but try the dealer for starter. And this should be cover by your insurance company too. Good luck!

well... if they stole your hids, more than likely they took ur headlight casings too and cut wiires and stuff. all in all your looking at $800 more or less, and thats without any body damage. a set of hids will be about $450+... the headlight casings will be about $250 more or less then you gotta have them wired up since the wires were msot likely cut. anyways, good luck with getting it all sorted out.

i know how you feel but these HID bulbs are definitely not cheap. What make you think the A$$hole stole it in the first place?
Even the stock 4300k bulbs are 100+ each.

You can order the ballasts and bulbs online (here is a place: www.suvlights.com) but you'll need the necessary wiring. For installation, try a shop on Ave Y and E17 called High Quality, I know those guys.

If you can please answer these questions:
Where in Brooklyn were your HIDs stolen? How long was the car parked in that spot? When was the last time you left your car before you came back to find them stolen? Was it done during the day or night?

Thanks, and I hope the info I gave helped a bit.

Did you file a police report? Will your insurance cover the loss?

Man, I am sorry to hear that happened to you. I also had my lights stolen last september 27.... exactly 3rd b-day and last payment due on the car! Those b@@stards besides taking the lights also gave me a flat. total cost $3895 for repairs to fenders
and torn bumper cover repaint. Had the work done at Beverly
Hills Collision on Coney Island Ave and P. They did great work.

Good luck guy and try to keep it parked off the street especially on rainy nights!

Also PM ShoofinTL, he had his lights ripped off too, but he got projectors installed from X5? Anyway ask him for a bodyshop where he got his work done.

make sure you've filed the police report if you haven't already. Pro's tend to hit multiple vehicles in the same area, not just one here and there so other people may have the same problem aroudn you.

Second, I'd check with you insurance company anyway. my company didn't raise my rates becasue of an accident that wasn't my fault even though I filed a claim with them.

no harm in checking...
