they should be sealed so no smoke and crap should have gotten inside. and the lenses still look intact on the headlights so nothing should have damaged the shrouds either. definately worth a try!

the key is your search tag. and being consistent. there aren't golden finds on ebay or craigslist often. it's those people who look, and look, and look, who find the steals.

try different search words, try them every couple days. or put up some wanted ads too.

to use ballasts from a PNP kit you need to buy an adapter....retrofitsolutions.com i believe might sell what you're lookin' for, and i've got a craigslist gem for you you might be interested in, PM me

What are you looking exactly?. I have everything out of an AP1 minus the projectors of course. Do you want the ballasts?
