03 headlight question

hey guys, so recently i was going through my garage to find some stuff to sell on the forum because i would like some money in my pocket.

i have an original set of 2003 G coupe headlights in pristine condition. they are in such good condition because the man i bought my G from was a military man and was almost always gone, and it sat in a garage. shortly after, my own problems made the G sit in the garage even longer. after the problems ceased, like everybody else in 2006, i paid high dollar for the projector headlights, so these just sat.

my question is, when it comes to selling them, would they be worth more in the OEM finish, or would they be worth more with painted black bezels?

100% of the 03-04 headlights are yellowing, hazy, scratched, all that. i have never seen ones like mine, so im sure they are a bit more valuable than the lot.

if they are worth more modified, then i can do the work myself, if not, i will just keep the more desired OEM finish.

any input gents?

Maybe you can advertise it as it is, and then offer to paint it for them if they desire. Free of charge would be nice and I'm sure they'd hop right on that, but yeah. Good luck~

Sell them on eBay. They sell for about 200 plus shipping for each side. Sell them separately; they will sell easier!

Yeah dude! Sold my drivers side last week for 199 plus shipping. It took 10 days to sell but I'm patient I set up a 30 day buy it now and added the best offer feature but someone just bought it without making an offer. Also my headlight had a crack in the inner housing so your perfect ones may sell for more

The listing fee was 50 cents but ebay takes about 12% of the selling price so I got about $175 in my pocket.
