Facelift OEM HID Headlights

[Wagalini]

Hi all,

Some of my passenger side headlight mounting brackets are broken and the nct has started spotting it this year.

I was wondering if it's worth it getting a set used of OEM HD headlights? Does anybody have these and how do they find them? Do the ballasts fail, etc?

I've found a set on ebay but it'll probably cost me €500 with shipping from the U.S.

Thanks,
Brian

One of my HID headlight ballast went on white 1.3 FTO so ive replaced it with after market ballast and its grand since

You must be having one of these money trees that You thinking of getting second hand HID lights for 500e

For that money i will rip mine resprayed set out red version R tomorrow and have them in the post at 10 am haha

Haha yeah it is crazy money

I've got aftermarket ballasts for mine too but I took them out for the nct. I could fabricate some sort of holders and hide them out of the way under the headlights I guess...

I was looking for a passenger side facelift headlight when I came across these. I need one as some of the mounts on mine are broken and failing the nct

Hi man

Ya can get those brackets plastic welded.
or there are epoxy glues on the market now also.
or else fabricate and metal bracket in place of the broken
one.
dont pay that sort of money anyway.
nct are only looking to see that the light is secure.

Any place you'd recommend for plastic welding?
