FS - Broken Projectors

So guys, I bought my headlights and they came in broken

I'll sell 'em for $150 shipped? Price isn't all that firm, lol

New ones will be in soon

It seems as if the projector came out of the leveling system thing, you may be able to fix it if you cook 'em and pop the lenses.

SOLD AS IS.


Pics won't upload to any site for some reason :/ So ill email if interested.

+1. I remember our anticipation and also a warning about those projectors needing insurance on the shipping. Hmmz. I wonder why don't you have the sellers resend them? I remember reading the bid page saying that they have insurance? Unless this is different one.

I'd rather put $1,500 for new wheels or engine mods, not headlights.
