Are these 06 headlights still good? Help

so I found someone parting out their 06 g35 they still have the headlights available so I asked how much he said $300 I thought what a good deal he lives 4 hours away and won't ship them for whatever reason it after asking for detailed photos I noticed that the bottom of one headlight where it bolts in is broken I attached a picture of it. Can I use the back of my housing or is the headlight no good anyone have any ideas or thoughts

Personally I wouldn't buy headlights with broken mounting tabs.

If it is only one tab it is not a big deal. But are you willing to dump $70 in fuel just to get some lights? Just retrofit yours bud.

The '06 projector headlights are one of the best upgrades you can make to a first gen G35 coupe...fact! Keep watching our Marketplace for someone selling a set, that's willing to ship! Never buy projectors with broken tabs, chances are good they were ripped out of someone's coupe...you'd be supporting a thief!

$370 is still a great deal.

OP, I would ask to see close up pics of the lights chrome housing. Sometimes the chrome can wear off in some spots, and unless you plan on painting them, there's no real way to fix it and it looks kinda bad.

There's a bit of chrome coming off in those little ribs in the side, but overall they look good.. especially for $300. I'd get em if I were you. They really transform the car. The light output is much better too.
