Man that really sucks! When my headlights were shipped to me, they too got a scratch or two in shipment.

To whoever takes the chance on buying these, there are multiple ways to get a lot of the scratches out. Look on YouTube and you can find the ways. I used some headlight lens restorer and some quick detail spray and it actually removed a lot of the issues I had. These scratches would still be worth it to me at this price. The light output is night and day compared to factory halogen.

Good luck with the sale brother.

Edit: the broken tab isn’t a huge deal either. As long as two of the three are there, they will still mount easily and securely.

Thanks. It has been a hassle to deal with.

To whomever buys these, you can eliminate most of the scratching but definitely not all of it. I want to be clear that you will probably need to clear epoxy (what they use to fill windshields with) or swap out the drivers side lens.

Update on this:
I purchased some clear jb weld epoxy resin yesterday and am going to fill the gouge and then sand down the scratches the best I can (unless someone purchases before I get a chance, then I will include the epoxy in the box). Price will remain the same but now you won't have to worry about that as much anymore. I will update with pictures in a couple of days.

You could have a nice set of headlights for less than $500.

Buy these assemblies for $150 + shipping (around $250)

Pick up these Ballasts and wires from ebay for $110

Pick up a set of the morimoto bulbs for $75.

Buy the dust covers for $22 ($12 + $10 shipping)

Total like that: $457

If you send me $460. I will purchase all of the stuff and send it as a complete set to you using the above stuff, but it would be more difficult if there is any issue with the bulbs/ballasts on your part as they would be shipped without any guarantees from me.

Put the clear epoxy on tonight. Still needs a light sanding (think headlight restoration) and will be nearly impossible to tell anything was ever wrong.

Minus the two tabs being broken this is getting to be a much better deal.

I got the light cleaned up today....and holy cow...I should probably charge more than $150 + shipping for these but I'm not going to. I think the lens might be better than the first time.
