Need new headlights for 2003 escalade - can i use a $150 set from ebay if i have hid?
 
I have been looking for new set of headlights for my 2003 Escalade. I have factory HID's with the ballasts. My headlights are yellowed and faded on the inside, and will not clean up - I've tried everything, they just look old. My question is, I only need the plastic housings, not new ballasts and everything, can I buy a $150 set from ebay and make them work? I know the ones that come with new ballasts are like $400/each. I want to keep my HIDs, I just want new clear housings. Thanks for any help you can give.

It's been a while since I had my 03' Escalade, if I remember correctly the ballast wire goes thru the headlight assy and is part of that assy, I remember someone on another forum buying lights like you describe but they were pre 2003 before the HIDs (2002) probably why they are cheaper. :)

My 04 also came with HIDs but was easy to replace the headlights.
