Good price for headlight assembly?

[RJRDenver]

So, I'm going to do a halogen to HID retrofit on a pre-facelift 03. I found a guy that will sell his used OEM enclosures and bulbs for 150. They are in normal condition for a 03 set of lens and only include the enclosure and bulbs. Is 150 a decent asking price? I realize the balasts, etc are going to cost me additional, but I need a starting point and I'm thinking this is probably a decent price???

by the OEM enclosures are you talking about the actual headlights?

or are you talking about that guy on ebay that sells the Xenon projectors without the headlight assembly?

I'm talking about the actual headlight bodies. I didn't know there was a guy that just sells the projectors. Have a link?

150 for headlight bodies is an excellent deal. They go for $500 on ebay for both.

The problem is however that you cannot open 03 headlights. Therefore what it is, is what you get.
If you currently have sport package or want to add clear tails, you may want to check that the headlights are from a 03 sport model. Regardless, I would buy them as they are a steal.

I thought the deal was good. They are actually 2002s so they should be able to open if I wanted to retrofit angel eyes, but HID are my main goal at this point. I think I'll pick them up. Thanks for the info on the projectors too.
