Default Stock Headlights

Does anyone have a spare set of stock headlights? lol i ruined my old set by being an idiot. i have halos in my car but i want the whistler look instead, so i got out my stock lights spent all day trying to clean the yellow from them and i bought that shadow black chrome from advance and painted the entire inside of it. well as soon as i woke up today to check to see if they were dry, it hit me that the headlights will not work if theyre painted all over...i guess i was only half awake yesterday.

I've been looking for those headlights for over a year now. Just found them. They're great looking headlights, and in my opinion, is really worth the money too. Fitment isn't the best, but there are ways around it.

Thanks for your help!
