LED headlight assembly value?

Apologies if this is not the right forum for this....passenger side LCI f30 non adaptive LED headlight assembly coming out soon due to excessive water droplets on the inside of lens. Thorough visual inspection with assembly in revealed no cracks. Thinking it’s the lens to assembly glue seal that is bad. ( car is almost 6 years old)

IF after removal, lens demonstrates no cracks how much ballpark should I be able to get for this assembly? Assuming someone will heat up seal , separate then reglue....

Again just a ballpark based on anyone’s experience with this if any

Funny you should inquire as a buddy of mine does exactly this. He buys headlight assemblies like yours cracks them open and reseals and sells them. He is quite good at it. I reached out to him about your light and he said as long as there are no cracks and it IS a faulty seal he said somewhere around $300.
I’m not too far from you so let me know what is discovered upon extraction.

Wow so I can only hope for a 15% return? The light functions fine both low and high beams and drl. Im sure I can get a little higher than that. But thanks for input otherwise. I’ll stay in touch.
