Trade: Black Headlights For OEM SS

I have a set of black headlights with the SS tinted lens I would like to trade.. Keeping it simple by doing a straight trade. I want OEM Chrome ones.. 07-10. Would prefer them to have the tinted ss lens.. Untampered with, never opened up with no fogging problems. Reason for straight trading mine is they need work.. What I mean by that is they just keep fogging and I can't figure it out.. When they aren't fogged they look really nice, but I'm just tied of ******* with them so I just want some OEM ones that dont fog.. Let me know what you guys have! I will get a picture with my username in it later. Also have a lifeproof case in black iphone 4/4s!

They are ROX Wheels. They aren't the lightest wheel but I got a killer deal on them from a friend..

Clearly they have been repainted. I have opened and resealed dozens of headlights, If they are sealed TOO good.. you will have fogging issues, Simply drill a few holes on the BOTTOM of the headlights, to vent to atmosphere. This will keep water from going in, and letting moisture out.

Good idea. I just had my driver's side fog up after it rained hard for a few days last week. (Got the retros done mid-September).. Might do that as soon as I get it back from the dealer.

Thank you.
