Shelby Clevinger

So every since I bought my 2011 Mazda 3 hatchback, there has been water moisture in the passenger headlight. Didn't think anything of it until the light went out one day. Took it to my local Mazda dealership and they said that the entire assembly was broken and that it would be about $2,000. I took it home to think about what my options where and during this time the headlight came back on. Thought it was weird since they told me that the entire thing was broken so nothing should work right? It came back on and off a few times throughout the week. Ended up buying a new bulb and replacing it and it has worked fine since. Flash forward to a year later and it is doing the same thing again! I was thinking that the seal is damaged somehow in the headlight so water is getting in and tripping a connection somewhere. I figured I would just buy a new pair of headlights to fix the problem of water getting inside, but it is impossible to find any! I have HIDs so it narrows my search down. Every where I have looked say that they do not fit HID or they don't say it at all if they do or not. Help would be greatly appreciated in finding some! Thanks!

I'd look on craigslist or ebay. Your car came with HID headlights? Ouch. The'yre nice but damn they're expensive, too. I don't doubt the dealer wants thousands for them.
Anyway, I did a quick search on ebay and found few nice ones for around 600 for the set.
These guys seem to have pretty good feedback...

Don't throw your money away on eBay knock off stuff, I know it's tempting, but they're seriously crap. A good condition used Mazda headlamp from a seller with good feedback is way better (fitment, materials, wiring, seal, etc.) and will last much longer than any Chinese replicas.
