Default 2011 LED Headlights good deal?

Hey guys,

Long time lurker but rarely ever post on here. I'm meeting someone up tomorrow to buy a pair of stripped 2011 OEM LED headlights for $850. No damage nor scratches, in good condition.

Is this a good deal?


Had to create a new thread for this cause needed some quick inputs.

Thanks !!

It's fair. I had a 2012 set shipped half way across the world to Australia from the US and paid $600USD + $200 international shipping...

If you can wait, there's always a good deal. Saw a loaded 2012 side with no globes, perfect condition sell for $270 a few days ago. Sold within an hour or two, you do have to be quick.

I think it's pretty good. Depends on how much you want to spend and how bad you really want them.

They will most likely get the bubbling defect too with the early lights.

Depends on what you value them to be IMO. I think it's an OK price for $850 comparing to the 2012 units. I value the 2012 much more since they have the white LED as oppose to the yellowish LEDs.

I'm in the process of doing the conversion and honestly some areas I rushed and over-paid and some pieces I took my time and paid under/at market value. If you can find local salvage yards, you can possibly get a better price since they prefer to deal in person/cash rather than having to package and ship, etc.

I bought my headlamps seperate (2012 units) since the going rate for the pair is usually past 1k and upwards to 2k if you want everything loaded and new. Individually they really vary in price since the 2011 units get mixed in if looking through eBay. If you don't care about the the yellow, I would do it for $850 but just price out what you need in addition cause a lot of people forget about the extras (relay, covers, wiring, etc)
