Is there a reputable source (read: not ebay) to get CCFL Projectors?

I'm going to want to dump the ugly stock headlight as quickly as possible, and I've grown really fond of the black housing CCFL Projectors I've seen in the headlight thread and on ebay.

I don't need to make a purchase immediately, so is there a legit source to get quality headlights? One that won't disappear after they get my money? Or am I just paranoid.

P.S. I'm assuming 05-07 stuff will work on 08-09. Body seesm the same.

jeezus ur wayyy paranoid. Buy from a seller that others reccomend for headlights - like kazespeed. They were AWESOME with my projectors, even though they were probably just dropshipped =/

I sell a lot on ebay and i hate when someone harasses me with paranoia. I do a good job and always maintain 100% feedback. Some of us sellers are pure ********, but we get the job done. Feedback really tells you a lot about who your buying from, though.... that and the type of other products they list.

It only takes me a few seconds to tell if Im going to have problems with a seller or not.

It's not the ebay part that irks me. It's the no clue as to who made the darn things. I don't trust something made in a sweatshop in Asia. At the same time, it seems to be my only choice.

Gen3s have DRL? I'm not afraid of wiring things myself to get the CCFL as the DRL.

Plus I can always keep the stock lights for when they break.

I have the 3rd gen's for my car with an HID kit. For the DRL, they use the low beams. I just disabled the DRL's by pulling the fuse in the engine bay.

Here's a post I made a few days ago.
