Where to buy headlight assembly?

Last night I went to blackhouse my headlights and I messed up the driver side assembly. I kept it in the oven too long and the lense bubbled up. Where can I find an OEM replacement headlight assembly? My HID's and harnesses are all fine, so I would just need the assembly without the bulbs. I know that theres a big price difference between the two. Thanks for your help people.

Good question. I got my brand new pair of headlights sent out to Ivorygt to be blacked out and color modded, and he didnt seal right and they leaked water inside. Sent them back, got them fixed, and condensation built up. Got tired of spending money for shipping and having no headlights, so i tried myself. Apparently he switched out the headlight for a diferent and there is some material that was caked on! Cant get it off even after soaking it in water for 30 mins. So let me know if you find an answer, because i cant stand the way they look right now.

Check E-bay. I have seen a few on there.

Also, you can use a heat gun or hair dryer to seperate the lights. It's easier and safer.

it's a seal and you will need to heat it up to remove it. water won't get rid of rubber. I warranty all my products till they are satisfactory, if the owner choose not to send them back, I can not be held accountable for the current unsatisfactory condition.

In the case of condensation, even the slightest leak would eventually build up moisture. That can be remedied but it's unfortunate the owner decided against sending them back for repairs.

Also I fail to see the connection between his question and your answer corvette kid, if your intention is to slander then you should reconsider.

You can't find cheap assemblies currently without having the front lens to be a scratched up part.

That was in no way meant to bash you if thats wh you believe was going on.. i DID say that you did incredible work, and i just didnt want to spend more money to ship back, just to fix the seal. He had mentioned he was thinking or trying to paint them black. I was giving my opinion. There was no harm in my post, sorry if you believe there was.

Or maybe you can take the apology i wrote after and leave it at that? I never bashed you or your work, matter of fact i said you did an incredible job, TWICE. All i was saying is to be careful when taking the headlight apart, because it will never reseal completely.

you can see form the attitude... we'll now we all know. The response should be.. i am so sorry I did not do a good job resealing and I will pay out of pocket for shipping to fix your problem. Not tuff luck for you keep spending money to ship headlights back to me... until i managed to fix it.. tsk tsk... cant do it 100%... then dunt....

all of my work are backed by life time warranty , find me someone else who would even care then talk about my attitude when Im not being portrayed properly and expect me to not firmly reiterate my point.

Who are you to criticize me anyhow. You can interpret it like you think you know what you are talking about all day. But if you don't have any knowledge of the subject at hand then don't contribute.

If he paid for the work and the work wasn't done right shouldn't you offer the free shipping?

Just a question.
