Default Is there a market for stock OEM Headlamps?

So I just bought the LED Headlamp Retro Kit from Seawell for my 09 Lexus. I was wondering if there's a market for the OEM Headlamps that I just replaced. I don't want to just throw them away, so if I could make a little money off of selling them, that would be great.

Maybe eBay or Craigslist or in the CL classifieds. Most want the led headlights that you bought but some are just trying to replace because of them being broken or foggy lens.

Yeah... what he said... you definately aren't going to get too much for them. I wouldn't throw them out.... you might get at least 200-400 for the set ... or just keep them as back ups if you ever want to go back to stock and sell the LED's

What condition are your old headlights in? Just depends on if someone is in need of them like they said craigs or ebay is your best bet also depends if your selling them with or without the hid ballast.

Sounds like you guys got it good. There are no spares down here, a single used headlight will go for over 600usd.

Yeah I ended up buying the 'loaded' versions of the LED Retrofits, so I'm guessing my old ones would still have the HID ballasts included. I'll try eBay and CL. I'd be happy to get 3 or 400 for the pair. Makes me feel better about the 2400 I spent on the new ones

Agreed, don't just toss them. Most used ones on ebay I've seen have minor issues (broken/missing tabs, slightly cloudy lenses, cracks, etc). So definitely resell!
