r34 ebay headlight owners step in

What's the difference, if any, between the ones that are $240 and $108?

I bought mine about 8 months ago for about 250. I couldnt imagine they dropped in price to only 108!!! Something seems fishy bout those ones.... do some further investigating and figure out if they are the same or not. If so get the 108 ones! Killer deal IMO.

Some come with HID kits, some don't.

Some also come with a set of clear bumper lights, some don't.

Some are AE, some are all chrome.

The $100 ones pretty much all have $42 shipping charge.

The $150 ones are free shipping.

The $170 ones have free shipping and bumper lights

Those $240 ones on ebay are just a ripoff.

Buy the ones that are $112 with free shipping. That's the best deal. If you need bumper lights, you can pick them up for $30 usually. They're all made by "Sonar", and they all have the same atrocious output that comes from just trying to duplicate someone else's design instead of getting an optical engineer and giving them their own good design.
