If they're used ones, clean them out before you put them on, it's much easier that way. And stripping the oxide can make an
enormous difference.
These will be refreshed out of car before install.
I was able to pick up both headlights from the local yard for $80. No cracks, factory Nissan part #. Black housing as it came from an anniversary edition ...best of all someone already pulled them for me prior to my arrival and left everything in tact! Looks like they were after the ballast and bulbs as those were absent from both headlights.
I’m open to suggestions on replacement options that include a ballast. All wiring is there. Should I hold on to these? I bought the warranty so if for any reason I feel it’s not worth the $$ I can return them and only be out $11.00 but figured new pairs are for for between $200-$500 used on eBay and who knows how much life the ballasts or bulbs have left in those. This way I am replacing the consumable parts and at $80 currently I have $120 before I even break $200.
