Default Gauging Interest: "Whistler" Headlights

I have access to a few sets of headlights that have the insides painted like the "Whister" headlights do. Curious if its worth my while to put these together and sell them. Would be looking for your stock lights + cash in exchange for these so that I can use your old ones to mod. Interest in this anyone?

I can get pics together, but if this goes right, the lights will be a different set each time. All lights will be in good shape tho.

I'll get some good res pics (just have a cell phone on me right now) late this afternoon when I get home.

I can paint them any color black you want, Glossy,Semi Gloss or Flat. I can also work something out with you if you would like a different color other than black. (i.e. a body color).

Any more interest or questions?

Feel free to PM me if you guys have any questions.

To summarize again what I'd like to do. I've read alot of people wanting to do the mod to their headlights, but due to time contraints, lack of space or materials, fear of breaking theirs, etc. they don't do it. I'm in effect taking your headlights, modding them (which I can do relatively quick as I've done it a few times) and sending it back to you for a fee. The headlights I have in stock are for those "mishaps" that occur where something gets cracked as this can happen. That way, your not out any more time or a headlight if that happens and I still get you a great looking set of headlights in a reasonable amount of time for a reasonable amount of money.

If you have one of those sets of headlights that are "foggy" or yellow, PM me and we can discuss cleaning them up so that they are cleared again as unfortunatly, I've done that a few times before as well

Thanks,
Justin

Here are some quick pics I snapped of mine when I got home today. Its raining like crazy here so not exactly as clear as they should be, but you get the idea. Mine are flat black but like I said, I'll offer to paint them whatever color you like.

Wanted to give an update to everyone. After speaking with several customers to get outside input, I've decided to set a price of $50 plus shipping to perform the mod for you. This includes the prep and paint of the headlights with the color of your choice and resealing them. Please PM me to set up a time to ship the lights to me as well as go over any details the post may not have as well as any other questions you may have. Thanks to all that have given their opinions and I look forward to assisting you!

Thanks,
Justin

This looks pretty damn cool... do you have any shots from further away? I may be interested but would prefer it if I didn't have to send my headlights to you first. I would gladly send them to you after I receive a modified pair.
