FS: Brand New SEC Headlights

I bought a pair of US spec SEC headlights for my euro 85 SEC500 so it could pass certification. I only used them once for the cert. and then reinstalled the euros. They have been in the basement sealed in the original boxes for over 15 years! If you want some pictures look at the ebay auction (didn't sell):

If you are interested please PM me!

Thanks

Why would you want to put them in a 560SEC? No offense, but these are considered quite a downgrade and most pre-'86 U.S.spec SEC owners have gotton rid of or would like to get rid of the old-style U.S. coupe lights in favor of euros or 560 headlights. I guess if you hated the look of euros or were trying to restore a U.S. car to its factory original state, these would be good. Do you have cracked/faded surroundings or broken lenses? You can buy replacement parts.

They are brand new, but the 500sec is gone so I don't need them anymore!

I posted pictures here:

These make great replacements and cost a fraction of aftermarkets/oem's.
