Default Anyone upgrade their headlight assembly?

I hit a bump and it cracked my drivers side headlight assembly bracket causing water to come in with the littlest rain. It has caused my turning light bulb to explode twice already due to a short.

Anyone here upgrade their headlight assembly and might have an their old set sitting around? I would like to buy their driver's side.

I know it's my chance to "upgrade" to a nice aftermarket but I don't have the money right now to replace both.

Damn you sure you didn't damage anything else? Honestly that's the first time I've ever heard of someone damaging their headlight because of a bump. Try to get it warrantied, the worst they can say is no.

I know ebay has a few every once in a while (OEM). And just an FYI you aren't upgrading when you go aftermarket.

If you don't have money for OEM, just seal it up good with some silicone caulking for now.

I was a guinea pig for these headlights back in May. The low beam bulbs are H1 bulbs. I still have the first set of them. They had put the high beam and low beam into one connector instead of being separate. Im still waiting for my cousin to get the black ones in along with the H1 HID bulbs.

H1 halogen headlights suck really bad. I can't stand driving my woman's car at night. I constantly have to use the high beams. I need to upgrade her to some 4300k hids
