Hit a deer, need a headlight

Has anyone tried these from 1A Auto? For $215 I could replace both sides.

Those look better than 95% of the replacement, non-oem lights I have seen but I'd be concerned that at that price they aren't very good quality. Usually I live bt the mantra "you get what you pay for" but occasionally I've been surprised by something inexpensive that turned out to be very good. If you try them let us know how it goes, these would be an awesome set to retrofit with projectors if they are decent.

Hey so is there any major difference between the 05-06 sedan headlights and the 04's? I don't understand why the newer ones are $215 and the ones for an 04 are $800. Will the 05 ones fit? I'm sure there's a thread if I search but I just clicked the link and then replied.

I've been looking for a drivers side HID housing for a while.

I bought those lights for the purpose of doing a projector retrofit - no issues so far

Which side do you need? Halogen or HID? I have an 04 halogen sitting around I'll let go cheap. There is only a little chip in the bottom of the lens. Doesn't affect output, just a little appearance when you're looking right at it.

I need the drivers side HID.
Although, i guess i could swap the lense from a halogen to my HID housing. I was thinking of doing that with an aftermarket one anyways. Not sure how well it will fit the oem housing though.
