Default feeler, My projector retrofitted headlamps

Well here's the deal, I'm gonna be replacing the projector headlamps. I am looking to see if anyone is interested in my projector retrofitted headlamps and a set of already seperated headlamps. The retrofitted headlamps has a reflector mounting tab thats broken due to an accident. This is why I bought a new set of headlamps and seperated them, these have minor glue residue on the lens's that will need to be cleaned off or sanded off. The projectors used are g35 projectors with clear lenses and e46 shrouds painted dark red.
Quick close up of it


Looking to get $300 obo, would prefer not to ship but + shipping if need be.


Anyways throwing these on here cause I'm not sure what I'm going to do with them. Might stop being lazy and fix these then sell for what others charge for retrofitted headlamps.

I can help with instructions and they wont come with bulbs/wiring harness/ballasts.

I'm honestly surprised more people haven't done projector retro fits around here. Everyone calls projectors 'rice' but having a non focused HID light is the definition of rice. Making a set of these was on my hot list before I 'sold' the car.

Agreed. I hate being blinded by a dumbass with an HID in a reflector housing.

Honestly it's as easy as trimming the reflector, aligning the holes, drilling the holes, aligning the beams and reseal. If you don't mind that one side is a little off you can just buy the bulbs/ballast and run my headlamps as is.


Anyways, still haven't decided what I'm gonna do with this.

I think they look great Aereon. The only thing keeping me from doing this to mine is the cost. With my tiny budget, there's no way I could justify 400+ on headlights.

If only the aftermarket could offer a decent looking projector housing. Hmmm...
