You can buy one and then find the other separately. If the deal was a great deal, it might be worth it. Only concern would be the condition of the housings being different.

Also, what’s your max budget you’d e willing to spend? I don’t wanna post listings that are out of your price range you’re willing to spend.

Not quite Oem look given they retrofit the projectors with some additional lights, but still an amazing deal.

If these aren’t sold, I’d be shocked. I have no doubt these could be restored very very easily. I had to clean mine up a bit, and when I was done they looked brand new.

Several of us have done it. Send me a PM if there’s a specific question. Otherwise, I’ll do step by step when I get home tonight. At the zoo with family right now

Old headlights

New housing
so basically my question is how do I transfer from old to new housing on the front side they look exactly the same.

I have a very bad feeling you bought non Oem housings. I think those are Spyder housings. If that is the case, you most likely bough the halogen housings. If that is in fact true, you are in for a ton of work to get those running for HIDs. Let me know if this is correct before I continue further.

Where’d you buy from? It may not be Spyder but one of the other knock off Oem housings. However the knock offs are all halogen housings. You can replace the projector for HID but that’s more money.
