Default New Drivers Side Headlight from Sewell

Noob request... Can someone confirm/deny whether or not this is the right headlight with all the parts for me to buy? I have OEM HID headlights equipped with AFS. I tried emailing sewell but they just told me to refer to the exploded view to ser if the headlight has everything. Those pictures just give me a headache.

Heres the link to what I think I need. I just want to make one simple purchase. Because in the past ive purchased from sewell and im missing 2-3 critical parts resulting in more orders. Thanks!

Yup those are the one, but you should buy from parts.com they have better prices.

Last time I bought from a cheaper site I definitely got what I paid for. Is this a reliable site?

This is a very reliable site. I bought from them twice already: oem brake pads and exterior windshield moldings. Products came in good packing and all oem unopened parts.

The detailed diagrams allow you to determine for yourself what specific hardware is included - like the bulbs, AFS, ballast etc. Be careful for how you're shopping for the headlamps as there are a few options.

We believe the part number you'll need is a 8114053240. This includes the ballast and internal systems (like the AFS motors). What it does not include is the bulbs and the few covers (and a wire harness). It's very simple to changeover your existing hardware to the new headlamp.

As for you sgmbag, we hope your emblem came in good order last week.

Parts.com has iffy reviews. And shipping charges come out to 15% of your order?
Wish Sewell would price match the headlights... I would order today!

PRICE MATCH!? Why would we do such a thing?

If you need us to raise the price of this headlamp, we'll gladly do so

Well, they got them listed for $447.74 per headlamp for the 2012 model. (Not sure if its halogen or the xenon version though as it doesn't state that.)

I have the drivers side lamp in my cart, i just have one more questions before i make the purchase.

i plan on using the covers from my existing headlight, the ones that seal the headlight shut after replacing a bulb. how do i know whether or not the covers are bad? as in they're what caused all the condensation in my headlight?
