Okay, most of you guys are misinterpreting what I said. I said that the 450$ that the OP was asking was too much. But 250$ is beyond the insult of a normal lowball.
Let's do the math everybody.
Brand new from ebay with bulbs: 515$ Shipped.
No ballasts.
OPs lights:
No ballasts
Great condition, minor surface scratches. Lets say that takes away 20$.
495$ shipped.
No Brand new philips 85122+s that they normally come with. Take away 95$
400$ shipped.
Misc bulbs that they normally come with... lets say 15$ AT THE MOST.
385$ shipped.
That's my ROUGH estimate of what he SHOULD be asking / getting.
You can't justify taking off 135$ for local pick up.
250$? Are you kidding me?

This is correct. D2R Bulbs will not fit a D2S projector. I also believe that the fog light bulb is different too. In the 03-05 it's a H4, and it's something else i THINK in the 06-07 since the 06-07 doesn't act as a fog / high beam combo.

why would anyone pay 385? after buying the bulbs separately for 95 it would run you $480
If you can buy the headlights new w/bulb for $515 shipped
515-480 = $35 difference b/t new vs used
If you're only saving a measly 35 dollars, why not just buy the new one, no scratches (plus you would save on shipping of the philips if you were to buy them separately)

Sigh.. Okay, lets say the OP provides the brand new philips 85122+ bulbs. So yes, that is 480. So all he's taking the 35$ away from is the minor surface scratches and the other bulbs. The scratches can be buffed out. Why would he reduce the price so much for such a small issue? He could buff them out himself, and charge 20$ or so more.
It makes NO sense for the OP to sell lights that are almost perfect, for 250$. What is the justification of him selling it for that cheap? Like the OP said, you can buy used bulbs if you really want to. 385$ Is the max.
Yes, you're only saving a measly 35$ with brand new bulbs, because there is only really a measly 35$ difference between his lights, and a brand new set. Also, i said it was a very ROUGH estimate. Hell, even if he lowers it to 350$, it makes way more sense than 250$. You're trying to justify your insulting lowball offer, and it doesn't make sense from a sellers point of view.
Also, the 95$ philips has free shipping.

I'd say a good price for these would be < 320. (take off 100 for used) They are '06 headlights, they've been used for 5 years.
