WTB - Clear Headlights or Litronics in TX

[alikhan78]

I want to buy either clear (2003 style) headlights or the litronics upgrades. I will be willing to pay upto $550 for clear headlights and maybe upto $800 for litronics. At this moment I'm interested in sellers in TX since I want to go and pick up the item.

Thanks.

My car is an 01, so I want to get rid of the amber. For cost reasons I would prefer regular halogens assemblies with clear turns but I don't mind paying for the added benefit of litronics.

Ya, what actualy breaks and what are the damages?

I have the clear halogens with Sylvania Silverstars in the high beam position. Granted they aren't litronics I don't have that amberish look from the standard H7 halogens anymore. Just something for you to consider.

I am going to have a set of clear headlights from a 2003, including the clear reflector triangles for sale next week. No scratches, no broken mounts and will include a complete HID kit as well. Replaced with Litronics and will be shipped in the box that they came in.

I did the retrofit to HID but the kit kept causing an error with the battery idiot light. I removed them but have since received a battery direct kit from the manufacturer which should eliminate the problem I was having. The rear of the headlights access panel has been drilled and a grommet installed to allow the wiring for the HID kit. I have since applied silicone to the wire holes on the grommets to seal it up. It is fine as- is or you could replace it with the one on your existing headlights. I have two extra grommets if you want to use the HID kit. I was planning to ask $600 plus shipping.

PM me if interested.

Awefully confident in your lights be be asking 600 pre shipping...

Smart idea.
Lots of 986 headlights have broken plastic support inside caused during shipping process. If you pick them up, hold & shake each of them to verify. If you end up buying online, demand high quality pictures. You can tell from the picture if you know where to look at.

Thanks for the advice jinijazz, I didn't even realize this was a big problem. Does this make the lights jsut a ltitle loose or does it actually mean that the ligths can be easily pulled out or fall out?

Notice the gap between [1] and [2] in the picture.
There is a piece that supports and holds [1] inside of housing. It maintains the gap so that your headlight maintains proper level. This piece is surprisingly thin and weak, easily breaks during shipping if not packaged properly. Once broken, the headlights are basically not usable(unless you are ok with your beams being shaken crazy at every small road bump, not to mention different beam level b/w left and right) and it not easy to repair if not impossible. There are some dishonest people sell these kind of headlights without mentioning the problems

Thanks for the info jinijazz, I wish I had read your reply a few days ago, I got my litronics yesterday. I went to the garage and checked my lights to make sure they didn't suffer from the condition you described and looks like i got lucky.

I'm looking for the same stuff. Either clear turn signal halogens or litronics. If anybody has information on where I could find some I'd really appreciate it.
