Blacked Out, Cleared Headlight (CHEAP, CHEAP, CHEAP)
Ahhhh, back up again. Ok, up for sale is a set of 2004 - 2006 headlights, blacked out and cleared, CHEAP. There exists a very, very minor scratch on the interior chrome garnish that is only visible if you ever decide the need to use the headlight as a mirror.

Scratch aside, these need maybe 30 mins worth of work to get to "perfect" condition. Why? I did not use the full compression force required to properly reseal the headlights, meaning they don't fit perfectly when installed due to the slight offset on the seal.

HOW DO I FIX IT? Heat to 150F, use a set of clamps to resolve the offset issue. EASY, EASY FIX.

Price is $260 SHIPPED. Not bad, huh?

Is there anyway you could take a closer shot or post up or email me a larger photo of the scratch? I'd have to get new ballasts to run these on my 04?!

Yeah, I can get a closer shot tomorrow. No need for new ballasts, about 2 mins of dremel work to allow for ballast clearance is all that is needed to get them to fit!

yea but even after you dremel the modeling for the ballast, the mounting holes wont line up if you use 04-05 ballast on 06 headlights and vice versa

Would you be willing to bake them and fix the seal issue? If so I'll take these.
