Sell OEM Headlights when Replaced w/Euro Clears?

jayz4 · 10-31-2006, 11:47 PM

This question is for all you who replaced your OEM US headlights with the Amber reflectors, for Euro Clear corners.

-Did you sell your original OEM's?
-Are there BMW parts stores that buy the "cores" for a good price?

It seems that you could leverage the high expense of Euro replacements by selling the OEMs. I'm very interested in what people have sold their headlights for. I have a 3 week old E90 that I want to replace the lights with Euro, and my OEM's are obviously in "like new" condition.

(Same question for Blackline Tail Lights)

Thanks in Advance!

As of now I've kept both my tails and my halogen headlights which I replaced about a month after having my car. My car is a lease so I'm undecided if I will buy out the car or turn it in. Then I have to decide is it worth it to me to take the lights off to resell them. It also depends on if the body style/wiring will be the same if I stick with BMW for my next car. If it is I would want to transfer my current euros to the new car, halogens back on my car now and keep whatever off the new car boxed up. Obviosly there are a lot of variables that I'm thinking about...

From what I've read, it sound like most people do that.

C'mon. Anyone have experience with this? Dying to upgrade to Euros! I haven't seen anything on eBay for OEM headlights.
