Hey gang

I was just curious if any of you guys had a good estimate of what I should sell my original headlights for??? They are the clear ones with out the orange bottem piece....any suggestions are appreciated!!

Edit: Wrong thread.. You can't sell old ambers for anything usually. Many times, shipping costs more that the sale. Save them for when you sell the car and sell the litronics apart.

I love the litronics. It was in the top 5 of what I required when looking for my car.

I will be playing with the high beams though. Since they use a standard H7 halogen to accompany the lits. Pretty much a std h7 only lets the other lane know that you went from highs to lows when they approach. I feel it adds no real light right now

I have the standard halogens and am pretty impressed with just those. Best standard headlights I've had in any car. Pretty much comparable in terms of light output to my Acura RL. The litronics do give the car a more upscale look I suppose though, just pricey.
