Default Value of new OEM non-HID

Hey guys. I'm considering picking up a set of OEM HIDs for my car (which is non-HID). My headlights are virtually brand new -- Lexus just installed them in December. Does anyone have any idea what they're worth? I'm trying to figure out how much it is going to cost me to upgrade.

I'd like to go the OEM route if I can (mainly for purposes of resale -- and, yes, I know the autoleveling function won't work).

since they are so new, they should be worth $400 easy to the right person. I'm sure someone w/condensation problem or ragged, chipped lights would want or need them.
