There probably is no market for used HIDs. There is nothing to upgrade to from HIDs, so nobody's going to be selling. You might start calling around to salvage yards.

You might want to question why someone would want to sell a perfectly good set unless they are pulling them from a wreck.

Well, you can look at what they cost new. They are about $800.00 a light from the dealer. Now look at how much they are asking, how old they are, and what condition they are in. They are very hard to find from what I have seen.

Why would it matter if they are pulling them from a wreck? If they are in perfect working order, it gives you a cheaper option than buying them new. Recycling per se. I for one have been keeping an eye out at the local wreck yard for any '05+ projectors so that I can replace my reflector housing Xenons...

I'd say if they are running at $800.00 or under for the pair, jump on them!
