    I ordered a set of TYC aftermarkets to do the retro as I didn't think I could complete it in a three day weekend.

    Will be selling a set of 2 month old stock headlights soon.

    I got my aftermarkets pretty cheap. Amazon is selling TYC OEM-quality at ~50 per side.

    I tried calling some junkyards in the area and the prices they quote are asinine...75 for a cracked drivers side assembly with no bulb. No one will buy it for that.

    Most of the assemblies here are in the 40-50 range for a good one, so I'll probably be asking somewhere in there.

    04+ doesn't have headlight brackets. And It's not often you find a pair for less than $100 unless someone is being very generous on ebay and selling them used and in bad shape. However, asking to break even for the price of new headlights on used headlights is too much I agree.
