Sorry guys, my Camera has finally failed on me But I got the new headlights and the wiring harness for the car the lights look awesome tho I think the little covered inside the casing (you know the reflector over the bulb?) seems to bee offset or bend to one side slightly

Yep... I bought a set of those a couple years ago on ebay and instantly knew I wasted my money. :D

you should have grabbed a pair of MSR's from MSA.

nismo619 04-15-2009 08:11 PM

LOL i bought some of thouse lol %^&*@##@#@#$ dirty words i stuck my stock ones back in ! lol

Sweets 04-16-2009 09:21 AM

You know, if you contact the seller and tell them their product was damaged and the wrong part, they will probably refund some of your money. I bought a muffler off ebay one time and when I got it, it had a dent in it. They refunded like 40% of what I paid.

BlueKitsune 04-16-2009 10:14 AM

Ya but I order them a while ago @.@ So it probably to late. Ah well, their not very bright... so Im going to install my headlight harness today to see if that helps, I can deal with the "HEADLIGHT OUT" Lamp thingy

i ordered some "xenon blue" H4 bulbs for my 87 325 BMW about 10 years ago - eBay. They looked hottttt.

however, one day I was driving to work and drove through a puddle - BAM - both lights gone - water had splashed up and into each houseing from behind because it's not a sealed bulb enclosure. Swapped back to OEM and was good from there on out!

get what you pay for :)

Did you notice what the headlights did to your paint job? I'd be pissed.

BlueKitsune 04-22-2009 10:09 PM
