Default WTT: Retrofit (Q45 w/ E46 Projectors inner) for OEM HID

UPDATE: I have a pending transaction for the headlights. Will let everyone know if it falls through. Thanks for everyone's interest. I didn't know these were so in demand =)

Wanting to trade my retrofit headlights for your OEM HID Headlights + $200 obo (must be no cracks, pref 01+ headlights, but will consider all as long as they are in good shape)

The retro was done on a brand new set of OEM HID headlights I purchased about 1 1/2 years ago.

Here's the low down on the retrofit:
- I had it done by TIGUY99 (CL Member)
- Both inner lights (DRL) has been disconnected because one of the ballast is not working and I don't want to drive around w/ only 1 inner light on (you can buy the VALEO Ballast on ebay ~$70-$100). The shrouds are coming off, but can be fixed if you know how, you can have my bodyshop guy fix it (currently car is at his shop), or you can take it to whoever you want
- Auto level works on the Q45.
- Clearbra installed on the headlights
- The way the light is setup is the lights will toggle (eg, if the inners are on, the headlights will turn off. If you turn on the headlights, the inners will turn off)

Prefer local transaction, so there won't be any surprises for both parties. If you want to check it out, let me know and we can schedule the meeting at my body shop:
Backyard Creations
9832 Rush St.
S. El Monte, CA 91733

PM me if any questions. Here is a quick pic:

I've got 1 that was painted candy flake black but otherwise, it's oem....

btw, they are 98 HIDs and I'm still using the ballast for my halo light... and I think it need a bit of sanding as it's got the usual haze.....

can you get pictures of the back of the housing. if you trade do you want like a 98 housing in good condition, but i have 5000k phillip bulbs with denso ballast which the ends are hooked into a 9006 plug. the ballast are not together with the housing but it was a seperate installation

Please put me on the list for the headlights if others before me back out and you're willing to ship.
Also, any chance you're looking to sell the trunk lid?

Hi guys.....sorry for not replying to the posts here. But, as the first post says, I currently have a pending transaction and just waiting on payment. If that falls through, then I'll go back and answer everyone's questions/requests and go down the list of interested parties.

PS...Trunk lid is not for sale. Thanks.
