Default best/cheapest place...

to get headlights. There is a discount auto parts store (interstate auto) thats near my house and they sell them for 85 bucks each but they have been out for weeks and dont know when they will be getting more in. The cheapest i have found online is like 250$. Just wondering if any of you know where you can get good headlights for not to expensive. not ebay junk.
thanks guys

Also just the ones that they have are the halogen type. The headlights I have now are just all cracked, they have some HID kit on them I dont know the brand, but i ordered a new HID conversion kit from HIDextra will that work with the "halogen type"

ok ok i know you get what you pay for but honestly with headlights im really not that worried about it. I have two fully built cars with nothing but the best parts in them. But one thing i really know nothing about is HIDs so i was just want some insight on if any of these will work with the HID extra kit. and work with fitment and all that jazz cause i would rather spend money on other things then like 600 bucks on headlights

So heres the deal, I have an 03 track model, it has HIDs in it (but i dont know if its the factory kit or what) I know that the 03 came with HIDs, the headlights are cracked and I need new ones. Im wondering if i can buy just the halogen headlights and use the HIDextra conversion kit.

just go to the private classifieds and pick up a used set of HID headlights. You'll get factory pieces, and you won't have to worry about the quality of the HID's

I'd sooner buy $350 OEM lights, than take a chance with a $50 HID kit and some replica headlight made in a factory next to a Gap t shirt

well the only problem is that i have a ballast out to and nissan wants 400 bucks for a new ballast and 400 bucks a headlight. so i can justify me spending 250 bucks on new non hid headlights and the conversion kit. (if itll work) then spending 1200 bucks
