Going value for stock headlights?

I'm considering a headlight swap to a custom fixed twin projector setup. I would be selling my stock headlamps (cover, housing, frame and motor) and depending on the projectors i get, I may be including a set of 5000K HID bulbs.

Any idea on the going market value?

Not much I'd say

A Euro lens which is much better quality is $85 if that helps.

I would think it's a tough sale, but I just had one entire headlight replaced and paid for by insurance. If I remember correctly the discounted price was over $600!
Very limited market, but if you can find the right buyer, maybe you could both be happy.
Good luck.

I gave mine away to a forum member who "supposedly" wrecked his car. I later found them being sold on the auction site.

You got any more parts you don't need.
