I can get some lights for a similar price to you and can easily install myself, its just the coding side thats the problem!
It is very expensive but they would not give away as to any clues as to what they were doing to the car.
The lights actually work all the time correctly if you put the car in gear first ( Mines an automatic ) then you can start the lights straight up and they never go out.
If you turn on the lights before you put it in gear that is when you get the problem.
So you could fit them and just make sure you put the car in gear before you turn on the lights and not bother with the expensive coding.

Woot!! They came in. From the looks of it they look brand new (or almost brand new). There is even protection film on the lenses.
Very good purchase for me. The headlights have the original ballast and bulb.
So at this point can anyone give advise? Do I just install them straight up and replace the current headlights? I don't want to cut any wires or modify the rest of the inside of the car.
I'm gonna post pics over the weekend.
EDIT: Upon checking both lights, it appears only the left headlight is good. The other headlight had a broken corner and some other broken bits.
Trying to contact seller to get this resolved.
