Feeler: 05 E55 Headlights. Bi-Xenon w/ Active cornering.

I thinking of changing my headlights to 07+ ones but don't know how much I could get for my oem ones. My oem ones are Bi-Xenon with Active Cornering and will include all the bulbs and ballasts. They work perfectly and a very clear ( not clear like a 2012 0-mile E63, but clearer than my wifes 2010 Grand Vitara, which is pretty clear ).

The cheapest I've seen these new with ballasts and everything is $2,200 for the set. Would anyone be interested in these for $1100 shipped?

What price are you thinking about?

Here are some pics BTW-




They are currently installed but I can remove them in a day or two. It's pretty easy.

I wanna get non-oem ones that are plug and play for 03-05 cars. I'd be giving up oem reliability and active cornering but it's a simple install and looks good. I don't daily drive my car anymore either so I don't care much how bright they are. I'm on the fence though...

I can't go that low though, I'd rather keep them.

I want 07+ headlights which are different. I don't know if E500's come with active cornering but mine have it. They do look the same though ( 03-06 ), so one would buy them if they want to upgrade to xenons and active cornering or to replace broken lamps.

They look really good for their age. Have they been buffed? Also are all the tabs still the original ones in tact? I may be interested but also not at 1100. I have an '06 and my lenses have seen better days. Lots of little rock chips from living here in Arizona.

I've waxed them before but that's it. All the tabs are in great shape.
