New Headlight Alert

Post by KillaWhale »

On eBay there are multiple pairs of brand new in box headlights from Australia. OEM headlight basically NOS !!
Pending tariff cost but so far I'm less than $650 USD for a new set of headlights. Much better than the $1k each from here.

Killa whale,
Keep in mind that those headlights are designed to shine up and to the left for the right hand drive cars. Some on this forum have investigated this and even modified them to work.

6 sets left
They might help in price because of shipping and tariffs

No word on tariff charges yet but I'm paying the premium.
Under $700 for the set , steal being that one new is $1k each!

Have they given you any estimates on what the tariff will be? I have an English car and some of the crew on a forum I frequent have seen tariffs in excess of 50% and a whole lot of confusion. Some vendors bailed on shipping to the US until the dust clears.

Just paid my tariffs, came out to about $62
Coming out just over $700 for the pair.
Seems like a lot but it's a $1300 discount. Plus I've just had my car painted so it needs new lights!

Man, if we still had our '12, I'd be sending them some $$!! Note that they also have new Caprice tail lights and other bits and bobs.

eBay states they won’t ship stateside (at least not up where I live), and their website seems to suggest that too (AU is the only selectable region). Did you have to call and arrange shipping stateside?
