Somethings wrong with this picture.
Here are 2 brand new 2007-2008 Pacifica headlights for $85 ( for BOTH ) with free shipping.
They don't look a whole heck of a lot different from ours ( at about $1,600 for a NEW set )

What a coincidence, I was looking out of the window one evening in Florida last week overlooking the motel next door, parked against the fence in front of me was a Pacifica and I saw exactly what you have noticed. I was going to go down and look when I had the chance, but next day of course it was gone.

Yes, I was walking Dakota ( my 210 lb Anatolian Shepherd ) towards town this morning and walked by one parked in the grocery store lot.
I took a picture with my cell and looked it up when I got back home.

If you had one of these in your grill no one would notice your headlights.

I wonder if HeadlightsDepot.Com could get their source in Asia to make a bunch for us?

I would never even want to fit those crappy headlights on the Xfire honestly. The main reason for it is because they are reflector types, not projectors. Those things SUCK at outputting any decent amount of light on the road. Plus HIDs wouldn't work at all in a reflector like that type.

Ohh boy, the lenses and cutoff shields on those are freakin terrible lol. You guys do know that our stock H7 projectors are actually up to par cutoffwise with most standard HID projector housings? I'm on the HIDplanet.com forum too, and I compared the cutoff in my 2004 coupe with those from stock lexus's and audi's HIDs and ours is just as sharp.

I own both a 2005 Crossfire and 2005 Pacifica. The headlight may look the same but they are not compatible. The Pacifica's headlight is larger and the wiring harness is much different. Even if you modified your Crossfire and adapted the Pacifica's headlights to it, you wll not be satisfied with
the results.

Thanks Stephen, but I was talking about the 2007-2008 headlights. They are different from the 2005's .
But I do agree - they would never fit, but physically there are 'close' to what we have, and apparently they can
be produced for 1/10 the cost of ours.

Actually, if you guys really wanna get them to fit the Xfire, it might be possible without too much hassle from our end. There's a bunch of professional retrofitters on HIDplanet.com, the forum for theretrofitsource.com. These guys can make miracles happen with headlights. I would hit them up for an estimate on how much it would run to make these fit the mounting brackets for our cars.
