350z DEPO Headlights
Looking for people in Dallas area (Frisco, Plano, Richardson, Irving, The Colony, etc) for local pickup. Looking for $200. Sold with all bulbs but no ballast.
Originally picked these up for $400 on eBay a few years ago. Had an installer at Clay Cooley in Irving install them. Loved the look of the 2006 look on my 2003 vehicle. Lately been having issues coming home where I would hit a bump hard enough where headlight would go out. I would flicker the on / off switch and most of the time, it would turn back on again.
After buying replacement 2003 headlights and taking on the task myself this time, I noticed why I've been having issues. The switch / toggle associated with the clamp that normally holds the wires to the ballast was missing. Snapped off clean. If you are mechanically inclined to replace this, I believe this should fix the problem for you. Also, that same dealership cracked the passenger headlight while doing an oil change. I think the mechanic might've been joy riding in my car. Stress fractures on exit in the passenger headlight.
Selling these as a pair.
Clay Cooley Nissan of Irving cracked the headlight during an oil change.
Stress fractures everywhere? Don't know how this happened with this new pair. It happened with both of my OEM headlights but only the passenger headlight.
No ballasts included. Transferred them over to my new housings. Noticed installer broke the clip that holds the wire to the ballast (driver side). I wonder if this was causing my headlight turn off whenever I went over a bump hard enough.
Found out these were securely attached to the back of the headlight because they broke the mount.
Installer couldn't get it on? That's what she said. All jokes aside, I think I paid way too much to get these things installed.
You can have my older bulbs. Keep in mind the blink I had in there is an LED. So it blinks super fast without a resistor.

I'd grab these if I were local. For anyone on the fence, you can swap out the stress fractured lens with your oem ones (even 03-05's, they are the same) using an oven and some new sealant.
