Default OEM 1 piece lights

I have a set of 1 piece lights for sale that I bought on vortex a while ago. I now have a new set of lights that I'm taking a different direction with, leaving these up for sale.

The driver side light is fine:

The passenger side light has some minor issues.

I tried to take them apart via the oven method for a mod, started with the passenger side light and found that it is sealed with some kind of heat resistant adhesive, slightly melted the part of the interior while trying to break down the adhesive in the oven, and gave up:

You can see that the upper portion of the interior of the light sags a bit.

The weather stripping that runs along the top of the light was removed when I tried to take it apart, but this is easily glue back into place:

One of the plastic mounting extrusions that connects the projector lens to the interior was broken at some point and appears to have been glued back together, but the lens seems ok other than that:

You can see the break I'm talking about right in the center of the picture.

I will include the pre-facelift wiring harnesses shown two pics up for those interested in them, so anyone doing a 1 piece conversion won't have to screw with splicing anything together or modifying their old wiring harnesses.

I have only one of the back covers for these lights and it's cracked. They can be purchased from the dealer for about 10 bucks each I think, or you can fab something up yourself.

I'm willing to part these lights out, as the passenger side one is a little damaged, but I would rather sell these as a set obviously. Even if the interior of the passenger side light has some issues, the housing is fine and would be a good buy for someone with a damaged housing.

One last thing: the bottom mounting tabs are broken on both lights, but I've been told this isn't really an issue for these.

Hit me with some offers.

the housing is fine. it's the interior section that got screwed up in the oven. while I was waiting for that adhesive to break down, I melted a section of the interior so that it has some bubbling and sags a bit. check the pictures for this and I'm sure you'll see it. if it's not clear, I can post additional pictures.
