3G TL type-s headlights

Category: Lights
Price: $125
Private or Vendor Listing: Private Listing
Part Fits (you may select multiples): TL 3G, Type-S Model
Location (State/Prov/Terr): NY
Item Condition: Used

Hello AZ,

For trade (only) are my 3G TL type-s headlights. It gives me pleasure to say that these are immaculate, except for some white residue on the headlight protecting film (not on the headlight itself). What has been done is below.

I am looking for OEM unmolested type-s headlights (only) without any broken parts.

-Trim painted dark gunmetal (but looks identical to the original finish so I was disappointed). This includes the trim that spans across the middle of the diffuser.
-ZKW-r lenses singly spaced with a Honey Bunches Of Oats cereal box.
-Color mod (which means the cut-off is not as sharp as without the color mod, but there is more blue color, and far better clarity than the OEM fresnel lens)
-Amber inserts were painted a flat black.
-The front lens covers have a thick protective film. On the passenger side headlight there is some while film/residue that can easily be buffed out (just never got around to doing). Doesn't affect the integrity of the light output!

Although a couple of sets I have done in the past have had condensation, this set had absolutely zero from the second I sealed them back together. Through sleet and heavy torrential downpours, with the HIDs on, they have never once fogged up on me.

There are no broken tabs either.

This price of $125 includes the ZKW lenses, labor of modifying the headlights, and labor of doing the swap from bumper off to bumper on.

Reason for trade: Looking to switch up the headlight style

Located in Queens, NY. I am willing to do the entire swap.

Thanks for looking.

Please EMAIL me at brianyooarecool@gmail.com if you are interested.
Tell me your name and location.

I will also add that the cut-off sharpness is sharpest when about 15 ft away from a wall/vehicle/what have you. When retreating away, the sharpness gets more blurry as is expected. This is only if you are a light freak as I am... but for the typical TL owner, the clarity is markedly improved over OEM fresnels.

Below is a pic against my white garage about 10 ft away.

It's just the one everything else is perfect. I even wrapped the lenses in 3m clear to keep them mint.

Not changing the price since shipping costs would be involved; headlights aren't small.
