Default Z accident

Hello,
Last night I got into an accident with my 2005 Z and tear up my front bumper and my headlights are crack which will be very bad for this winter. The hood is also crooked! T_T FML!!!

Well since all this happen, I decide to go aftermarket on them. I already know what parts to get for the other but when it came to headlights..I don't know which company is legit with black housing and also fit too. Please if you guy take 5min of your time to help on pointing the right website to get black housing for 2005 base. I try ebay and amazon sites but I saw lot of people having fitting issues on here. Also I will get HID later on in the future.

Sorry my English is not that good...

That's awful! I can't believe you tear your front bumper and two of your headlights are crack! How are your other headlights?

I can't post picture up because it is dark outside right now but I will do it tomorrow.
Btw!, that picture is freaking creepy!!

Sorry the forum market sell/buy is not my kind of things...bad experience back in the day.

Please some shed some light on this...I been using clear duck-tape to seal up cracks but I can't help looking at it. My poor baby sigh...

I found these 2003-2005 halogen headlights for it but could I use hid for it or do I need to get a certain type of headlights to fit HID?

Gosh I'm so confused...

^^Yes you can, as long as you have the ballasts and everything still intact from your old headlights. However, just buy used ones on the forum. Your headlights are pretty cheap. Or just upgrade to 06+

I don't have ballast...I have halogen blubs. Well the light crack but the wires are fine. I don't get what you mean?

Hell to the no on upgrading to 06 when I could use that grand something to get other upgrade engine parts.

ALL I WANT IS THIS BLACK HOUSING AND BE ABLE TO PUT HID LIGHT IN LATER ON! omg.. frustrated

I'd recommend buying an OEM pair from the private marketplace.
