Custom Projector headlights
I have a pair of custom projector headlights. These are gen 1 (03-05) non projector headlamps that have been retrofitted. The projector is from a BMW X5, the turn signal is cleared out and the housing painted black. There are no ballasts or bulbs. One of the tabs has been JBwelded, and a couple look a little worn, may need some JBweld to strengthen them. To be honest, I've mounted lights with less than fabulous tabs and they still work great. Here are some pics, sorry I don't have any on the car, they are sitting in my storage unit. $350 shipped.

sorry, I never took any when they were on the car, and they are in a box in my storage unit. I am just trying to clear some stuff out before I move. thanks for the interest.

Depends on what you want for bulbs. 5000k philips bulbs are ~$50-60/pr on ebay. The better color 6000k ones are more like $180-200/pr.
I found a set of oem nissan/infiniti ballasts on ebay for my second set of projectors for $80.

I'll throw in a set of 8000K for you for an extra 120. Again, sorry everyone for no pics on the car, they are sitting deep in a storage unit, just collecting dust, waiting for a new home.

You can just unhook your stock ballasts wiring and hook them up to these. As far as bulbs, you'll need to go to a d2s bulb, since the fitting on the projector is different than stock, which is d2r. I have some stock 4300K bulbs sitting around (I think) that will work, if not, I can get you a set of 8000K for 120 bucks or so. Let me know, I think the PM function is down for some reason on this board. If you are serious, just reply with your email and we can talk there.
