In maryland im looking to trade my OEM blackhousing headlights for your chrome housing headlights plus $400 on your end OBO. they must be Xenons. im in maryland and prefer local. if you want to mail me your chrome ones ill mail back my black housings...no scratches and in mint condition

 

I really wish you were local

 

im in maryland as well....are the stock and halogen different?

 

Halogen and Xenon can both be stock Because Xenons are an upgrade option. So it depends on what you have. Halogen is a simple bulb reflector type of housing, while Xenon lights will have a dome lense that focuses the light

 

Thanks for the clarrification

I'm not local but would be willing to trade. I can't quite see from the picture but do you have orange blinkers or clear?

 

Pm'd

responded to all PMs


to answer the questions clear lense on turns

 

Just to confirm, your housing is bi-xenon correct? If so I will trade you my chromes for your blacks.

 

up dated thread wasnt looking for straight swap. if anyone is still interested PM me

 

Disregard my offer then. It was worth it to me for a straight up swap just to experiment with the look. My xenons work and look great, and I have other things I need to throw money at. I just bought wheels, tires, and a GTSpec strut bar this week so experimenting with cosmetics is not a priority for me. I would suggest you list them on DCMM and THMMC. Good luck with your trade.

 

Thanks. Going to toss them on dcmm later at a good deal. Shall see.

 

Can't you just buy these headlights for like $300?

 

Yeah I'm a little lost too why there is money involved on top of the trade?!

 

The add on for xenons over halogen is $500. However, once the car is built with halogens, it is not programmed or equipped with the proper fuses or wiring to run xenons without a decent amount of work. Once you add up 2 xenon housings, bulbs, control units, and the wiring kit it's about $2000 in parts. MINI released a plug-n-play conversion kit that costs ~$800 that has a lower powered ballast for people wanting to upgrade halogen to xenon without spending $2000.

What I'm confused about is why OP wants money on top of his trade for essentially the exact same parts in a different color... The only difference between the silver xenon housings (not chrome, btw) and the black xenon housings is the color they're painted*.

* That doesn't include the adaptive headlights, which only come in the silver color. Those are a more expensive upgrade though, so OP should be the one dishing out cash if someone with adaptive silver wants to trade for his non-adaptive black housings.

 

people tend to want the black ones. im open to offers but will not do a straight trade. factory cost these are $1300 each if your not interested have a good day.

 

Are you still trying to get a trade on these?

 

nope they are gone this weekend. please close
