I like the look but rather spend the extra $s on Apple interface, back-up-camera, etc.

My OEM driver headlight was damaged when the tire blew-out, so I bought the new set....I believe they were only $200 shipped, for the pair

Hi Funcar,
I finally installed them a few weeks ago, did it myself. They work GREAT!!! They make the car look much better as well. I got them on Amazon.com I would recommend them to anyone for sure and they even came with ALL the lights.

Here are some photos of the items installed and process. Really was not very hard to do, just needed a warm day here in the North East.

Ouch! No padded cloth between the top of the hood and the old light assembly.

Looks nice. Please report back in a year after the new lens has been exposed to UV and the reflector has been open to environment.

Are you not changing the middle body colored piece over? Because that has to be changed when the housing is off of the car due to the fact that it is held on with a screw as well as double sided tape...

And how much did it cost if you don't mind me asking?
Most detailers are able to get your headlights to near perfect condition and possibly use a permanent sealer to insure they stay that way for a cheaper price than new headlights. But, if you were able to get them at a reasonable price, then it's understandable.
