Headlight Questions

Ok, I'm too lazy to try and find the answers right now so here it goes.

1. Has anyone bought these headlights off Ebay?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/05-06...spagenameZWDVW

2. If so, have you had any issues with them what so ever? Fogging, fading, cheap in general?


The reason I ask is that I really don't want to pull either of the two sets of headlights I have apart, and I really like the way these one come as is. I sort of dig the black w/ amber sides. Plus, I could make my money back selling the OEM sets I have in the garage anyhow.

HID's are the way to go, I have em and they look awesome. You'll pay a little for them but it's worth it IMO.

Pretty much what they will look like on my car, just a little more aggressive with the SS/SC bumper lines. I probably won't do HID's, but I do have the Xenon blue bulbs that are pretty bright. Thanks for the advice.

I have two sets of headlights at the house. If I get bored one day, I'll paint them and sell them for around $100/set and get all my money back. Not really a big deal in my eyes, I just don't feel like screwing with that when I have a motor that needs to be rebuilt on my Integra along with extensive bodywork and paint, some performance parts to install on my Cobalt, and finally maintenance on all three to include my Colorado. I'm going to be busy, so the headlights are going to get ordered to make that part easier.

I've been waiting to see what the silver Balts look like with the black headlamps. I'm considering black halo or chrome halo headlights for one of my first cheap mods (gotta love ebay) and wasn't sure which set to get. The black looks badass, but I don't have a darker car. I may go with chrome. Eventually I think HIDs are in store.

Unless you're letting them go for $150 shipped, I think I'll be more than happy with the ones I want. I know yours are badass, but I'd be willing to bet they won't be cheap. Like I said, I really like the amber in the corner still.

I bought them and haven't had a single problem. They've been on a couple months now. And I agree, I Like the amber look on the sides too.

Here's mine:

Yeah, but if you just don't have the time and you have other things to take care of, what's $140 to make your life simpler?

I agree! I've spent the last six months here deployed overseas, I'm not even home yet, I need to spend a lot of time getting reaquainted with my girlfriend, I have an engine that needs to be rebuilt in my Integra, and there are plenty of things that will need to be done around the house. $140-150 for a set of headlights that I can just pop in the car in 5 minutes is well worth it IMO. Plus, like I stated before I can sell the two pairs of stock ones I have to recoup the funds, so I don't loose out anyhow!

sorry to ressurect this one, fellas, but those ebay headlights...the amber signals are part of the mirror itself or is it just the bulb that makes it look as such?

thanks
