Does ANYONE sell properly working projectors?

Does anyone know where I can get a good legit WORKING set of projectors from? Specific ebay seller or website. This is for those who have never had problems with their projectors (i know theres only a few of you)

1st/2nd/3rd gen, I really dont care. I have the 2nd gen, and Im on my third passenger set so far, every new projector they send me the led bar burns out on literally the second day. So im just tired of having to deal with these shitty headlights.

So anybody know who or where I can get a set that actually work and wont have any problems with? much appreciated.

I know there are a few people out there who havent had any problems with the projectors, so Im just trying to find out what seller you got them from.

From what I've seen and heard, eBay projectors are hit and miss. If you have the cash and really care about quality of build and output, not to mention custom look, retrofit is the way to go. I've done 9 sets now and several other members have done some amazing retrofits as well, so feel free to search/ask for advice.

There is actually a set in the parts section for $350 not including bulbs or ballasts that look very nice... And the price is excellent... Never see that price for a retro anywhere. There's also another set for $500 I think with everything from Mercury.

Best bet is to PM smartdude or one of the other guys on here that do good work. Smarty hooked me up real good, I'd recommend him.

Hmmm..I really dont know about the retrofit, I dont really have that much money for headlights, you know?

I got mine off ebay but each time they've been ****. Maybe its just bad luck with this seller. I just want a working set, thats all.

Put your oven on 300* and put your stock headlights in the oven for about 20 minutes. Pop the clips around the outside of the lens and pull the lens away from the housing. Get windshield sealant from an auto parts store and reseal the headlights. Push the lens back together with the housing. make sure the clips pop back into place... 2 hours total and you can have that all fixed!

3 ebay sets = $600 at least. Get a good set that won't die on you for the same price. I spent almost a grand on mine and I don't regret it one bit.
