Default Price check and cheap place to get stock style headlights

How much can I sell my ls430 retro headlights housed in depo headlights for? I want to see if its worth it to sell those and get stock headlights or if I should just keep it.

Here was where I was planning to buy my stock style headlights again? Has anyone dealt with them or know of a cheaper/better place?

Thanks!

I've dealt with them before. They are actually the guys I bought my headlights from. But they are not Depo, they use the Angel Eyes brand (OEM style, no lame rings). Fitment is just like OEM and I've been running them for about 1 year now with no problems or condensation.

Their customer service is really good and quick shipping. They shipped me 2 left headlights by mistake but wasn't their fault as the box was mislabeled. They shipped me a new headlight ASAP even before I shipped the wrong one back which they covered of course. I was just glad to have crystal clear headlights again. Old ones were yellow and really faded. After I had the paint job done the car looked new again

No projectors. They just look exactly like OEM

Not that I've ever seen, only OEM style replacements from Depo and Angle Eyes are non-hid/non-autoleveling.

Depo has a great reputation for quality OEM matched replacements.

And I put a pair of Angle Eye brand lights on a truck I sold because the stocks were cracked, and side-by-side with the stock OEM Ford lights you could not find anything that looked any different at all except not having Ford stamped in the lower corner, and the fitment was perfect as well. Haven't seen any in person on the GS though.

I picked up a set better than my current ones for a retrofit here in classifieds for like $100

Why dont you want to keep the ls430 retrofit?

Agreed. When I used to work at a auto collision shop most headlights were replaced with Depo if not OEM. I suppose if your car already had the OEM HID option you could buy the Depo and just switch the lens cover
