From what I have heard buying HID's off anyone especially off ebay is a VERY VERY touchy subject in this forum.....they are stolen ALL the time....just so you know

Scenario 1: someone bought it off ebay from NY/NJ and was not happy with it...the seller (thief) did not reply to any emails and the buyer to regain some of his money put it on ebay

Scenario 2: Cali has become a target for HIDs as well, it was only time that was stopping it

Scenario 3: it can be legit but in both pics he only shows the same headlamp fully

Yeah he probably cracked the other one while stealing it out of a car...you'll get it it will be all busted up.....and you'll never be able to get ahold of him

I've seen that EXACT picture on eBay before... He's reusing it from someone elses auction... I would e-mail him and ask him for a close up picture of the back of both headlights individually.

just ask him for the serial numbers. if he gives you crap about it them dont trust him at all. also get a picture of the back of them to see if the brackets are messed up

yes, but u would need to rig the bulbs into the housings and get ballasts to mount somewhere and they'd still steal them

IMO either replace with 2k1 AE lights w/ HID conversion or just go thru insurance for complete repair.....its covered under comp so no worries about premiums rising
