Headlight Upgrade?

[gtoger]

Many thanks to Particlewave for the explanation. So as I understand it, it will be roughly $425 in parts, but they can't be had at this time. Then there's $100 in shipping to have the work done (because I'm not going to do it myself as the results would suck). Then there's the $200-1200 range in price for the labor (depending on who does it).

Which brings me to anywhere between $725 - $1,725.

And it's using my old headlight housings, which are not in perfect shape. Yellow hazy and one of them looks like someone glued the outside wedge cover back on. Badly. Plus, since we drive the car, not having headlights for days or weeks is a non-starter.

So toss in another $500 or so for new donor lights (based on what I find on ebay).

Therefore, as I understand it, the headlight upgrade will cost somewhere between $1,225 and $2,225.

I SO WANT new lights for the car. It's just the sticker shock that's got me!

PW gave a range of what they USED to cost; you've shown the upper end. We don't know what Pelican is going to charge for them.

I would imagine Pelican got a good deal with Fred for a large volume purchase. Guessing, I would say $500 for the high end. Fred had to be making some money off these even selling them for $325 to $424, I hope.

The one thing that makes me even more happy and more thankful to pw, is they have PORSCHE OPTICS and Limited Edition on them. The ones at Pelican won't have that on them.

Another nice thing about these over the Litronic lights is they are Bi-Xenon, they don't use a halogen bulb for the high beams. The pictures of these look great, but in person, they are flat out awesome looking. Even pw after installing them on my car, said it was the first time he had seen them on another car other then pictures and how sweet they look in person.
