First of all it's only the passenger side. Secondly they're most likely the recalled headunits. Nothing's really wrong with them except it aims a little high. I've seen a pair go for $150 on ebay.

It's funny how the descriptions says it's for a "2 Door Sedan"... There's no such thing.

Thumbs down

Ahemmm, Let me try guys...

It's cheap b/c it's only for the Right Hand side, and from what I can see (comparing to the 2 sets I have collecting dust in my basement) it's missing the BALLAST.

WITHOUT XENON BOX AND XENON BULB
Thanks Guys!

I bought some off of E-bay and yeah the aim is a little high but i got it adjusted. There is a thread on it or a DIY somewhere in my350z or something. Seriously i forget where i got the DIY but they work great. I used the ballats off my originals. Its all plug and play, and remember at the end of the day you can always reurn it. Pay with Paypal and if it turns out a bad light then ask for a refund, file a claim with Paypal. =)

I have a couple sets of 2006 waiting for me to install and have since learned of the "aiming issue", could you send me the DIY? I would GREATLY appreicate. pikapp221@yahoo.com

Thanks Guys!

P.s. Wow, (not not my sig, the word) I didn't realize you could use the original ballast off of the 2003-2005 headlamps - is this REALLY true!?!?!?!?!? I know they are "Plug and Play", but the bulbs are bi-xeons and the OLD bulbs are just plan xeons, so I thought the new BALLASTS were diff??

He's also selling 3 left headlights in a separate auction.

Most likely a recall headlight... which is technically illigal to be selling and not street legal...

We have brand new 06-07 Street Legal headlights with special forum pricing...

send your zip code for shipped price...

they come with bulbs and all... just no ballists...

Whiteonwheat, I will try to find the DIY i used to aim the lights. As far as the bulbs being bi-xenon thats the actual projector which opens and closes its own shutter rather than the bulb being dual. Try doing hi beam low beam with a friend, while you have your ear next to the headlight have your friend hi and low and you will hear a clicking sound. Anyway, let m try and find the DIY =)
