2005 RX8 HID Headlight assembly
 

Hi,

I have a question with regards to the entire headlight assembly. I have to replace mine on the passenger side and these are HIDs. The lights in general are working fine but the exterior glass enclosure is cracked. I was told by the dealer to replace the entire assembly and not just the enclosure? Where can I find the pricing on the entire assembly? The dealer quoted me about $975....

Any suggestions or opinions are deeply appreciated...Thank you!

regards,

You can usually find them on eBay quite a bit cheaper than the dealer. FYI if you don't mind "baking" your HID housings to get the cover off, you could replace the broken part with a cheaper Halogen housing. The housings are identical.

hey thanks! will definitely look into it...

Check with Paul at Mazmart. He's in the vendors list at the top of the home page.

I ordered the wrong one since I have just the regular halogen lights so I have a passenger one thats hid for a good price if you are still interested...

this thread is 3 months old ....

^very observant....(but i noticed that too)

Why is this post still up then??? They should take the post off if its that old or the person who started it should say whether they fixed the problem or not...

ppl never come back and let anyone know what's goin on

Hey all,

Just to update everyone on the status of my car. The headlight assembly still needs to be fixed. I just haven't bothered too much about it for now especially if I need to change the entire assembly and shell out a grand. I'll do it at some point eventually.

In the meanwhile, I was away for a while and a few weeks later my car didn't start. Thankfully my car is still under warranty and I got it towed (flat-bed) to the dealer to fix the problem. They changed the spark plugs/ignition coils under warranty and the battery was prorated. Its fine for now.

Sorry for the late response.

Well ar328, just to let you know I have a HID headlight assembly sitting in my closet... used so there are minor scratches (and I mean minor) and I got it for the price of a used halogen headlight assembly so I don't have much use for it as my car requires a halogen assembly... Thought I would pass on the deal and sell it to someone on this site for $300. If you are interested just pm me.

hey rx8snowboard,

Can you send me pictures of the assembly? Also can you send me details regarding the model number, etc? I would be interested in purchasing it. Thanks!
