if he can get them for you for $300 brand new, he is stealing them. Dealer cost for a set of OEM HIDs is almost twice that, and retail price is over $1200.

Other than that comment, I am not saying another word about HIDs and theft.

Brand new for that price? Sounds quite shady to me.

No one here is going to help you install these headlights. I would LOVE to see how the mounting brackets on these look...

$300 for brand new HID's WTF!! It sure sounds to me like those were stolen. I would buy them and then sell them again for about $600 and make a profit. And selling them for the higher price would look more legitimate.

Hey don't make fun of my post. Just remember it really won't be funny if one of these days you go out to your car and notice there are holes where lights once use to be and then you'll be like

Umm, that has already happened to me buddy. That's why I am ridiculing your post. If everyone had your attitude, than theft would go up higher as demand goes up from people trying to make a buck from other people's misfortunes. If you were being sarcastic in your last post, than pardon me for offending you.
