headlight, front end help........
#16
yeah...ebay is your best bet for now for those headlamps...if its cracked, no one will just sell the plastic part itself...and don't go anywhere near the dealership for help otherwise, you'll be frowning at your wallet

those headlights are brand new but there not oem but aftermarket ones....
140 a piece with 20 bucks shipping doesn't seem too bad? no
there not leaking but i'd doing a retrofit on the lights and when i saw this it basically killed it cause i really have no choice but to but a new set.....
how better of a deal then 320 would i be able to find on ebay?

FYI,
I don't know who else tried it, but the `01 HID headlamps doesn't fit the ~`97 without modification to the radiator support - at least in my `97, newer years may vary.

I bought a used set of headlamps from a member here for $200.00 shipped about a month ago. Planning on doing a retrofit. I also kept my eye on EBA
Y and found headlamps going for about the same price. Between $85-$110 apiece. OEM is always better than aftermarket when dealing with headlamps IMO. That is why I suggest holding out. If you are patient enough, you might find a set of OEM Xenon headlamps on EBAY too. I did not go this route because projectors shoot light out farther and wider than reflector lamps.
It all depends on what you are willing to settle for.

I also have the TSX projectors for my retrofit. Still undecided on if I want to cover the high beam with a projector or not. I will keep the 9005 bulb, but place a projector lense in front to match the lowbeam. Maybe.
