Default OEM HID Housings?

I've finally got my GS..although a 300 I'm still happy. Ive spent the last 45mins researching and reading, and I'm pretty sure my first mod I want is HIDs 6000K and OEM yellow fogs. Although the info I found was good, I still didnt get a answer to my question.

Where do you buy OEM HID housings and how much?


Thanks,
James

OEM hid housings come from your dealership...

and if i'm not mistaken, it should run you easily over a grand.

due to the different optics and the way the light is reflected back on the road, the halogen equivalent cannot under any circumstances, perform even close to the HID housings.


a cheaper alternative would be catching up to Tiguy99 and asking him about retrofit options.

$1,000?!?!?! wow, so the dealer is the only option? With so many people buying them I didnt think they would cost so much. Oh well, thanks.

Hey james your in luck I got like 2 sets of oem regular housings laying around, some have a missing tab or a repaird back crack but either way I'm willing to sell a set for 150ish and if you need ballast and bulbs let me know I can give you a good deal to, I got 3 sets of brand new phillips 4300k bulbs. Oh oh PS I have a set of sport design gs headlights also, complete with oem ballast and bulbs those I'm letting go for around 550 but I have 2 locals that are interested.
