ACA HID headlights.
I bought a set of ACA HID headlights (the Kit) and one housing broke. I called The place I got them from and they dont have them anymore. I dont want to have to buy another set when all I need is one housing.
Does anyone know where I can find a passenger side black housing anymore??
Any help and I would be grateful.

Maybe your best bet would be to buy a new H9 set without the HIDs and then sell your good housing as a replacement for someone else. How did it break?

I have seen the newer sets on the auction site for a quarter of what I paid for these. But those have the chromse housing and Im a stickler for the black. If I can find a black set I will go for it.
Im not sure how it broke, One day I was driving and I noiced the cut off from the HID being too high. I get out and I see the headlight is off center. I look in and see the fiberglass cracked. I Parked the car for winter, and just got it ready to go out this year and the whole assembly was broken and the light was just hanging out. Im sure with the bucket down the weight itself helped it break the rest of the way.

I have tried Epoxy and it doesnt like to hold. The fiberglass inside where the housing is black has come apart and the piece doesnt fit right anymore.

Most of the kits you see that are the H9's dont use HID. You can buy the kits with the option of HID if you look around.

For the OP, I know ebay had some of the black housing kits a few months ago on the cheap without any harness or lights so maybe they will come back. JWM sells the complete set with bulbs, harness, etc. so perhaps he might have some extra parts lying around.
