Ebay Projectors vs. Cobalt-Addiction

Hey guys, I've had my HID's for a while and I really could use projectors to prevent blinding the world, as it is now i have them aimed so low it's worse then stock. I was looking for opinions between the projectors on Ebay and the ones on Cobalt Addiction, what's the quality and performance difference? Those who have bought from either site please chime in. Thank you community!

I have been wondering the same exact thing. I've been wanting to set up HIDs in projectors, but I didn't want to get screwed on ebay... I'm sure there are a lot of other people that are curious of the same thing.

sounds good thanks, but waiting for any one with Ebay to respond. Most likely I'm going to go with CA anyways cause I hate ordering from Ebay and don't trust them, and CA is a very well known company that every seems to like. But I think a lot of other people would find this helpfull too and probably give CA some good business. Thanks!

ya light up against a wall, I want to see how far the spread out and the light intensity throughout the whole beam, cause i hear the Ebay ones don't spread that far, only like 35 degress each direction and the light fades as it does from top to bottom

fbaero10: same questions, can you post pics? HID'S?


If you two could post pics we can all see them side by side and that would help clear a lot up for comparison purposes, thank you two both!

They have to be the same lights. I doubt HIGHLY that 2 different companies make the same lights and one sells to e-bey and the other to CA.

we do have the black ones available. site hasnt been updated...we are getting there though. we try to do all the updates at one time.
if you have sales inquiries just send kenny an email at the sales address on the website...and as always be careful on ebay. Ive gotten ripped of 2-3 times already from unreliable sellers so just do the research before ordering anything off ebay.

no, its whatever people want to do,..not forcing anyone to choose us over them. i just said, do the research as id hate to see people get screwed. it HAS happened before on ebay. i know i didnt and i got stiffed on a body kit and a set of underbody neons...and i got $30 bucks back on the lights i paid over 100 for and $100 for a kit i paid almost 600 for duie to the cheap kit cost but expensive freight shipping cost. apparently people set up paypal accounts, get your money and then close the account out. and dont ever send money orders... you will never see that money again ... ebay wont refund back shipping which 90% of the time is the majority of the total price of the product. Also, there is a processing fee of $30 bucks as well to file a claim. So if you pay $50 bucks for something and $30 bucks shipping = $80...seller disappears and u file a claim... $80- 30 shipping - another 30 for the processing...you get a whopping 20 bucks of the 80 you spent back.... i dont know if things changed but it used to be like that.

The projectors from both places are the same. Same quality, same design, just the same thing exact. I bought mine from ebay and no problems.
