The proof is in the links. I was looking to upgrade my 03-05 headlights to the 06-07 projectors. On 3/18 I won an ebay auction for a set of used projectors for $420 shipped. Did the swap and put my old '05 headlights up for sale on ebay. They sold today for $561.53 shipped. So I basically made $140 on the deal less my ebay costs and shipping costs. Just wanted to share my excitement and give everyone the heads up that the 03-05 light market is HOT!!! Overall I love my new projectors. They look better and illuminate better at night. I just wish they would have carried over the lighted strip on the side.

Projectors Won

Old lights sold

 

wow that is awesome!!

 

Good for you man.

 

I sold my 04 lights w/ ballasts, all bulbs, painted black, and clear reflectors for $450 shipped.

You had a great sell.

 

nicccceee

 

Sometimes eBay rocks!!

Congrats.

 

lol i love when that happens

 

dang, I'd like to meet the bonehead who paid $500+ for used '03-'05 headlights Come to think of it, OEM price of those are about $1600 for the pair, so the "bonehead" got one heck of a deal!

Makes me want to put my extra set of '06-07 up for sale for some extra cash.

 

I don't normally buy anything on eBay, couple months ago I found '06 projectors new/in box for less than $400 shipped. My OE headlight were in bad shape, with the exception of the ballists they're in the LA County Dump.

Nice!

A lot of people (the ones who aren't as obsessed over cars like we may be) have no idea of where to shop, where to get hook-ups, or prices to look for.

Someone could have easily gotten in an accident and needed new headlights, the options he saw where 1) pay the dealership $2000.00 for headlights, or 2) grab some on e-bay. Your average person would also have no idea that they can get the newer projector lights instead, or even know what a projector/reflector are.

 

good deal OP. I did the same thing, but didn't make quite as much profit on the upgrade... Love how that works sometimes.

 

wow.

Why do people pay so much for older style lights?

 

Damn good ****

 

Very good question Joker, once my projectors were installed I couldn't believe the difference. Hope my neighbors don't mind....

 

Cool, congrats.
