My advice would be to keep them, there are some dealers that will ding your value for modifications rather than appreciate them.

How much did this mod set you back if you dont mind my asking?

The one million dollar question will be how much he can sell those old tail lights for?

I believe the last set went for $150 or less here on CL.
Some Ebayers are selling those for $49.99 per side. The old ECU is probably worthless since there is basically no demand for it.

I agree. by switching them out, you've 'lowered' the trade-in value and unlikely to be able to sell direct for a premium. Your best option is if/when you get rid of the car to swap things back out and sell the 'new' set.

Personally I'd just toss the old set and be done with it - not enough value gained/loss to worry about. But I understand that eve if you get $100 for the new set later, it's still an extra $100.
