Question about prices for OEM Headlights.

How much would I be expected to get if I sold my OEM 05 Coupe Headlights on ebay or anywhere else for that matter.

And how much would i expect to pay for 06 Projector Headlights, and where would be the best place to buy a set w/ or w/o the ballasts?

Can't stand the 05 Headlights and really want a pair of 06 OEM to tinker with and mod myself.

Any information would be appreciated,
Thank You

i dont know how much you can sell you 05 for, but riverside infiniti is the the cheapest place to buy 06 lights. theyre going to run you a little less than 600

If you want to buy new projectors I would definately buy from Riverside. I just received mine yesterday. They come very securely packed to avoid damage. They were 557.00 shipped to Alabama. That does not include ballasts you must use the ballasts from your old lights other than that they come with bulbs and are plug and play.

bought mine two weeks ago from riverside infiniti as well.. paid $545 local pick-up.. make sure that if you do decide to get one that it is the post recalled ones... unless you are buying from a dealer or reputable seller, majority of the ones sold out there are recalled.. they are not aimed properly, has too much glare and blinds oncoming traffic..

Sweet then I guess I know where I'll buy my 06s (thanks for the info), but where can I sell my 05s and how much should I charge?

I had 04 reflectors that were painted black and I sold them on ebay for $420 or something near that. I bought a set of used post recall projectors for $400 shipped. They were and still are in perfect shape. So, i'd say play your cards right and you might make a profit like me! I know a few others here on driver have made a profit on this great upgrade...

Riverside Infiniti is the place to buy your projectors but if you want to save up to $100 look for them on eBay from a seller with a very high satisfaction percentage. I did, new in the box (as advertised) with bulbs for $100 less than what everyone else is paying. Sadly, my '04 headlights were both scratched and they're at the dump/land fill....

Anyone dealt with Sewell Infiniti? They have the cheapest price I've found but I'm not sure if they're selling the recalled lights. Is there anyway to tell the difference?

I did a 3 day auction on ebay and the highest bidder was in the $420 range (I forget the exact number). They were in decent shape, not perfect. The lenses weren't perfect, but not bad either...

I paid 150 shipped from a guy on here i think they were 05's. Your best bet is to put them up on ebay for a reserve of 250 and let them run the course. Or find someone who wants them painted and pulll them apart do a little cleaning to the lenses and get some more money. People are afraid to mess with their lights and thats where the money comes in.
