I've been putting this off as I got burnt out on shipping after my part out but I'm finally ready to get rid of this last valuable piece off my beloved protege.
Details: I bought these Depo Protege5 Black Housing Headlights off of ebay brand new back in spring of 09, the housings came black and are not painted. Then I bought a DDM Tuning 35W 6000k H1 Slim Ballast H.I.D. Kit quickly after. I rocked them like that for about 8 months or so, then while my car was down getting the motor rebuilt and new transmission, I sent my lights off to Matt V to get retrofitted. Specs on the retrofit are blacked out housing and gattling gun shrouds, bi-xenon projectors, 4300k H1 hid bulbs and plug n play harness. Once I got the lights back, I bought some Xpel Headlight Protection Overlays and installed the driver side one. I ended up deciding to change cars before I got around to installing the passenger side one but I still have it. I also ran full AWR mounts and shook the shrouds right off the projectors but I sealed them to the projectors myself and put extra sealant around both lights to insure no water would get inside. I also started to hook up led running lights in the high beam area seeing as it was no longer being used due to the xenon projectors.
Whats included with price breakdown of what I paid...
Depo Protege5 Black Housing Headlights - $400
DDM Tuning 35W 4300k H1 Slim Ballast H.I.D. Kit - $60
Matt V Retrofit Cost/Parts(wiring harness included) - $400
Xpel Headlight Protection Overlays - $40
LED Running lights - $30
So I've invested well over $900 into these lights but I am not asking for nearly that much, my loss your gain.
Price: $530 shipped to the lower 48, FIRM
Price breaks down like this
$30 for shipping w/ tracking and insurance
$100 for new protege headlights to replace the projectors
$400 for the projector headlights, hid kit, harness, etc
However, since I do need to buy stock protege lights to replace the projectors once they are gone, I will gladly accept headlight trades and deduct $100 off the sale price long as your headlights are in decent condition
$530 Shipped Outright
$430 Shipped W/ Headlight Exchange
If I can't get what I want, I will probably just dissect the lights and retrofit the projectors into the miata
I think I covered everything but if you have any questions, feel free to ask.
