WTT retro's for stock HID (2nd Gen GS)

Like title states, I want to trade my retro'd rx330 projector headlamps with d2s bulbs (4300k) for stock HID headlamps and bulbs.

I bought these from OLDDOG on clublexus, they were black housed headlamps and I didn't like the look so I took them apart, pulled out the retro'd bowls and put these in my stock headlights. What I didn't know (and wasn't told) was that they aren't perfectly aligned. They are a little crooked, not bad, but I don't have pictures of the cut offs yet to show you. You can still drive with these fine, they don't blind anybody, and still put out good light.

I'd rather have stock HID headlamps, and do another retro later.

SO...here's the deal.

Stock HID headlamps + bulbs = Straight trade for retro'd plus 4300k phillips bulbs. I pay my shipping, you pay yours.

Stock Halogen headlamps+ $500 for my retro'd headlamps and HID kit (xenon depot, bought here on the forums) The cost of the HID kit and projectors run about that much. That's also including shipping (from me to you), and paypal.


This is now the only set of headlights I have, so I'd need some before I can ship out to you.

If you are local enough and want to meet up to trade, that's fine with me, but be prepared to take off your own headlights and bumper, I'll not be liable for damages to your car. I messed up the driver side of my bumper a little bit messing with that stupid nut on the fender. I want to smack the designer of the car for putting that nut there! Anyways, that's the trade.

Location: Modesto, Ca.

Payment: Cash, trade, paypal.
