auction isnt over yet though. it could double in price within the last 5 min of auction. they are purposely overpricing them and refusing to do business outside of ebay auctions. they can go **** themselves, hope they go out of business.

Thumbs up

MERCS are damn good lookin. He could make some money on the side if he manufactured and sold a few pairs. It'd take time but it'd be worth it for him and for the buyer.

i emailed the guy supposedly u just use the stock lights.

Thats just stupid, makes me weary of buying them.

i'm pretty sure these lights are made to accept a halogen bulb...probably 9007. they would have to be to be truly DOT approved.

They are suppose to work with stock lights and they are SAE and DOT approved.

Well going against the judgement of many others i think the black projectors are very appealing to the eyes and give a Black SS/SC a very sexy and sleek look. I would prefer that hey were able to handle HIDs just makes the whole look better. I think ill bite the Bullet and get a set. Also what does SAE and DOT approved mean?

SAE=Society of Automotive Engineers.
DOT=Department of Transportation.

Means that those two standards organizations authorize the headlight enclosure (or anything else in context) for use on public roadways.

did anyone noticed that noone bid on the black ones and now the black and the chrome ones are available to "buy now". Im thinking these should be coming out soon by a proper company and the guys on ebay are trying to get as much money out of them as they can before they hit the market. Last night i was so close to bidding on the black ones. But after shipping and not knowing how exactly they work with what bulbs etc, I could do it. My guess is april may.

I just got mine yesterday. They do not use the 9007 bulb. They have a plug to seperate the bulbs. I don't know what size the bulb is. And no you can't use hids with it. It is pretty easy to hook up though. You just plug the stock plug into the plug on the back of the light. And the halo you'll have to wire into the parking light / turn signal. I'll do a complete how to with pics later today and prob. post tonight.
