    As long as that place is the nearest mall, then I guess you are right.

    Rent it would be easier to be honest. Go to advance, I think they have them there.

    So i sent them my deposit to send me a new headlight and I took it as they shipped it out Thursday went I gave them the payment.

    Turns out they emailed be this morning saying the headlights were on back order and I could get a refund or wait for them to get them back in stock.
    Just got off the phone with them to come to find out that the ETA of the new headlights to me will be a month or two which is absolutely ridiculous.

    Now I have to order a new set of headlights.. then ship these back before I can get my money back.

    Maybe. If the retros in my last link can be fixed with ease, I think i'm going to buy them. :D



    PM from seller:
    "First you would have to take apart the lenses, you don't have to take the shroud off the projector or the angels eyes, just the headlight lens and cut through the jb weld thats holding the projector to the reflector bowl and pull apart the puddy from the inside then redo that process....the alignment is off a lot haha. I had them aligned perfectly the night before in a parking deck and i let them dry over night with the jb puddy, put everything together all day the next day and put them on my truck and they were out of whack. the drivers side is much higher than the passenger side"

    "Yeah everything is there except for the HID Ballasts and you can buy an adaptor for the halos if you wanted... Def requires a lot of patience lol.....to tell you the truth if I was in your situation and I never did a retrofit before I wouldn't mess with these. Its MUCHH easier to start from scratch."

    What do you guys think? Can they be fixed?

    Hey guys, I'm selling my ReadyLift SST 3" spacers if anyone's interested. Also for sale is my stock front suspension. I am not selling the block kit from the SST, as I used it in my current setup. Here's a link if you're interested: http://raleigh.craigslist.org/pts/4129126302.html

    Can ya spell Tonneau
    Wouldn't touch them myself. I don't know you Swanks, but by your posts, you don't sound like a terribly patient guy. I would take the seller's advice unless he is giving them away.

    Haha, yeah i'm really not. It's probably over my head to fix them, i'd end up messing something up.
    Probably just going with the ebay ones. I wouldn't know where to even start fixing the headlights.
