Send them to Particlewave(Charles). I did and couldn't be happier. I was able to find a set of new clear halogens, get the HID projectors, send it all to Charles for installation and then ship the final product to me all for about the price of used litronics. The trouble with used Litronics is finding a set where the lens are not yellowed or cloudy. Mine are crystal clear since they are new. Of course if you do find a cloudy set, Charles can help with that too.

I looked at buying used but the weathered lens that was typical of used pushed me to spend the extra for new. Still happy with that descision. You can always try to sell your current lights to lower the net cost.

I had Charles do mine too. I visited him in person when he did mine, he didn't seem too enthused to do more, but make it worth his time and he might do it.
