I have a nervous feeling about modifying my original lights, so that's why there's that hesitancy. ACTROS and I almost had a deal worked out where we traded light setups (his 2004 headlight housing complete with ballasts for my 2006 headlight housing complete with ballasts), but I was just too much of a pu$$y to do it! Something about changing the equipment that came from the factory just made me too skeptical about maintaining any sort of warranty clout if the need for factory repair to the electrical system per warranty every arose.

Oh...and no I have not tried a junkyard yet. The only junkyard in the general vicinity of where I live is some shithole USA junkyard that doesn't have much more than 20 - 30 cars and seems to specialize in stocking 1985 Buick Regals. There are very few junkyards around here - probably because it's a beach town, but I don't know for sure why.

OT: ua6spec: I did my headlights like yours! Came out great! Thanks for the inspiration bro!
Back on topic: Try calling around Brett. Junkyards ship out too. Only think is, you can't inspect the part. But, you probably want original shit like I do so, meh.
