Sweet. I paid a bit more. $60 I think. It was a used OEM. All the cheaper ones seemed to be knock offs of some sort.
Only issue is, the cover on the back of the headlight it cracked at the top screw and seems to let moisture into the headlight. I'm wondering now if maybe some moisture accumulation drained into the ballast that sits right below it and that's what ruined it.
I just washed the damn thing on Sunday and it wasn't until Monday morning on the way to work I realized the light wasn't working and was a tad foggy when I got home and was swapping bulbs and igniters.
