headlight units

Post by bluespit » Thu Feb 23, 2017 8:27 pm

my came came with aftermarket headlights which I quite like and is passed its mot yesterday with no problems so clearly the units or OK

It also came with the originals with orange indicator strip along the bottom. I've cleaned and polished them and they are now nice and shiny.

question is do they have a value?, if I don't need them then I don't want them cluttering up my garage. What are they worth?

thanks

ps not a for sale thread, looking for an idea how much they are worth prior to posting a for sale thread. Hope thats within the rules (I do like rules :poke: )

cheers

I'll guess that they are halogen not xenon , but you might like to state if silver or black inners

didn't know things were that complicated, yes they are halogen. I'll have a look, take a pic later.

They could certainly have value as replacements for damaged units, for guide prices look on eBay?

Easy £100-150 each, e85 headlights are expensive.
