100+ posts should be enough to know that if you post anything in HT about something from ebay, it's going to be absolutely worthless under any and all circumstances..

In any event, as per the topic, I have not, how much did u pay for them?

You can't cancel now, you already bought them.

But basically.. those headlights aren't even compatible with hids (proper reflectors are missing).

it says it's a good kit? THey must not be lying then..those 500 dollar turbo kits say they're good too....

I wouldn't exactly take those too heart

on the flipside, if it was 300, then it was prolly decent, they should be okay, that's just my personal opinion though, other people will probably differ for their dislike of me and/or ebay

Do the letters "APC" appear anywhere on them? If so, I'm sorry

ive never had a problem with anything on ebay. especially things where i put out a decent amount of $. things like my $50 CAI required some modding and rigging but hey i dont have 275 bills for an AEM.

I dont have expierence with this item u bought. but imo u should be ok. may not be top of the line stuff but it should be ok.

eBay has good stuff and bad stuff, you can't say "it's going to be absolutely worthless under any and all circumstances." LOL, that's pure BS, there is some good stuff on eBay man. You can get real OEM JDM CTR stuff, or you can also get garbage fake abs crappy garbage.

Talk about an ignorant statement.

A friend has ebay headlights and he got them even cheaper than that. Not even HIDs, and they cut off is amazing and the output is so much clearer.

To the OP, what kind are they?

My friend has ebay projectors on his car. The cut off line is decent if he's like shining his lights on a wall .. .but once he starts going down the road the cut off line disapears . it looks all zig zaggy and ish. The light output is still better than what he had though and his angel eyes look good too. I helped him install them and it was a peice of cake. For the $80 he paid for the lights i think he got a good deal. For even better light output though you really can't go wrong with getting fog lights.
